I Dare You To Eat It

Friday, I had a book signing at the Costco in Orem. When I arrived one of the managers told me that they had sold out of the book (!) but had just received a new shipment!! When I left, four hours later, another whole case was almost gone !!! When two of my daughters stopped by to visit,I told them that it’s true what they say about Utah County and it’s because the people are so stinkin’ NICE!

Each store has a vibe, and the Orem Costco is…a ray of sunshine. Even when I’m shoving a dorky bookmark into their hands (a promotional piece advertising my book and the website) the people are friendly, OPEN, and cheerfully willing to hear me out. I love Orem! It really is a happy place.

Then, besides all of that goodness, there was this PRINCE of a young man that stopped to ask me a few questions. He very politley let me explain the process I suggest in the book for building a functioning food storage and said, “I’m going to buy your book because I really appreciate that you went to all this work to help others”.  (excuse me?)

Okay, I want to adopt him…as a son-in-law. He said he was a student (!), single (!!), and wanting to get his food storage in order!!!! (Dang it. Where are those girls when I need them???) 

A few good men. That’s all I’m looking for! The girls loooove me to help. A smart, thoughtful, handsome young man that understands the value of food storage, early. It’s this mother-in-law’s dream come true.

Helping and hindering, all along the way.
