Dear readers,
J. Michael Kenney is Natchitoches, Louisiana has a wonderful bookstore. It's a true reflection of the community sitting right on the main street, Front, that's view is that of the Cane River. The films "Steel Magnolia" and "Man in the Moon" were filmed and our Pulpwood Queen Book Club Selection "Cane River" by Lalita Tademy was set right here.
We got in a little early and after J. Michael showing us some of the art on display in his bookstore, he suggested we go grab a cup of gumbo up at the corner eatery. Mr. Johnny's served up a fine cup of gumbo and then we all shared this chocolate lava cake, sublime!
Back at the bookstore we were almost late and a crowd had gathered. I met alot of new folks and some old friends too Alice and Bill Bryant. Bill has an upcoming exhibit of his art at the Michelson Museum of Art in Marshall, Texas starting the end of January. We had a new Queen come forth, Rosemary who also won the Big Hair Makeover. (see photos). Rosemary
Great to be amongst friends and such wonderful books at The Book Merchant. Hope you enjoy the photos!
Tiara wearing and Book sharing,
Kathy L. Patrick
