Pioneers In Paradise

What means this? It is the title of a new book, the 100 year history of Three Rivers by my dear friend, former drawing student and fantastic knitter Sophie Britten!

Pioneers in Paradise

I had the privilege of helping Sophie with the proofreading of this book so it was quite the thrill to hold it in my hands and celebrate with her! (and if you find any typos, I don’t think we want to know about it.) Here she is on the porch of my cabin. She looked so cute and happy that I insisted on taking her photo to use in the book. (what a pushy chick I am!)

  1. So where can we get this book? I am unable to get over there on the 23rd and would love to purchase this book. Oops, just saw Sophie’s website. Thanks!! Blind in both eyes today, must need new glasses! Sounds like a great book to purchase. Thanks!

    Love,

    • Melissa, it was so fun to help Sophie with the proofing and then get to finally hold the book in my hands. I think you will find it interesting to read because you will recognize so many of the places and some of the names.

  2. What a sweet-looking woman!

    Regarding your comment on my post “Hypocrisy and French Onion Soup,” I’m amazed at how we can all remember different parts of God-talk too. Of course, this is from the girl who can read Agatha Christie’s over and over again, not remembering who did it, so maybe I shouldn’t talk. 🙂

    Thanks.
