August is here and things are rolling!

Can you believe that August is here already??!! I have been back from vacation for a few days and am finally feeling caught up with things. In mid July, Richard and presented for 2 days at the Mazza Summer Institute. We had good attendance at our presentations and did well selling our tractor book. It was also great to talk with all of the different people who attended, teachers and librarians especially! I am really looking forward to kicking off the Funday Sunday program in October with our "Down on the Farm" gig.

We sent in all of our book files for the bulldozer book. I will need to call the publisher early next week to run through the checklist of items but at least this is the final leg. We are hoping that the book will be ready in late October. It is a little later than we wanted but working with things on the tractor book has kept us busy. We also needed some technical assistance with this book in the bulldozer cabs and with the technique of building a pond. Fortunately, we found a couple of good men that helped us with both. Now, on to thinking about the next book......

Hope you enjoy the last few weeks of August! I know that I have a "Stacey Do" list that just keeps growing!
