Come for a Meet & Greet and dine with your favorite romance authors. Books will be signed, Swag will be given, and there will be dessert. (Lunch too, but that's just the obstacle before dessert)

    My plans for the fall are to fly to Las Vegas to visit my son and his wife, since they moved there recently. Then my sister will drive from near Palm Springs in California to pick me up and I'll visit her as well. I'm really looking forward to a fun vacation.

    I don't have any 'fun' plans for the fall, but I do need to have an outpatient surgery. ;)

    We will be going into spring. No special plans, but that's OK too sometimes.

    No real plans for the fall, although at the end of August my daughter is coming for a visit - haven't seen her since last June when she moved to Arizona. Lots of hugs in my future!

    I love the fall, even though our fall, isn't much different than our summer, or winter, or spring for that matter. Maybe I love the 'idea of fall." We may go visit my stepson who lives in Indiana. Maybe there it would feel more like fall.

    Nothing special coming up in the fall. One of these days, I would love to go a book festival.

    Ooh, they all sound like so much fun! Wish they were closer to me. :-)
    I don't have any plans this fall, but we did go on a quick trip to PA with my mom.

    I don't have anything special planned for the fall. However, I will probably try and tackle some scrap booking.

    Kids are back in school and will be doing a lot of working to save up for Xmas. At some point this year we are going to be doing a weekend trip to the Mall of America in Minnesota.
