IT'S A SHORE THING!

There's celebrating in the Jacksier and Mayers households tonight.
(floormat by Bungalow)

We received this e-mail late this afternoon.

"Hi Barbara and Dan,
I know Barbara talked with our CEO, Christopher Robbins, awhile ago, and after that he tentatively placed Waterside Cottages on our Fall 2009 list. I just wanted to confirm that the book will definitely be on that list. It will go to the printer in March, and books will arrive in in July. Everything’s ready to go!

I hope you’re both doing well and that you have a great holiday season.

Best regards,
Lisa
Gibbs Smith, Publisher"

Barbara,
I am so very happy for you. After reading your post about your delay I wrote Madge Baird and asked her about it. I am so glad to see it is back on. It's a shame you had to endure that stress but I am sure it will all be worth it int he end for you. I can't wait to buy my copy in July.
