When Maren got her super speedy departure date, the only thing she was sad about is that she would miss having dinner with one of her favorite authors by just six days. Jessica Day George was signing books at Deseret Book, and she agreed to have dinner with a local writer's group I belong to. We were so excited, and Maren was so sad to miss it. I decided she shouldn't miss out, so I made Flat Maren and took her with us!
Jessica thought it was hilarious and kindly posed for a picture and signed books for Maren. It was a nice, small group at McKenzie River Grill, and I really enjoyed hearing her talk about her experiences as a writer.
Emma enjoyed it, too, although she hadn't read any of her books and has no intention of being a writer. She does love pizza, however, so it was all worth it. Maren looks excited to be there, too. We sent the pictures to Maren, and she said it made her laugh so hard she almost cried. Mission accomplished!
"Dear Maren--It was fun having dinner with you! JDG"
"To Maren--Have fun in Kazakhstan! JDG"
