Thanks to Fairfield and the Trinity Star Arts Council

Sometimes when I visit schools, the community goes above and beyond.  That's what Fairfield, Texas did this May when I spoke with the Elementary and Intermediate schools.  Authors are so lucky to be able to meet new friends all over the world and experience new things...all because they wrote a book.

It was the marvelous folks of the Trinity Star Arts Council who put these visits together.  The council is a non profit organization whose members are committed to the enrichment of Freestone county through the arts.

Below are a few photos of my friends Bev and John, a visit to an exotic animal ranch, and a celebratory BBQ at a beautiful Texas ranch.

Thanks for the memories, Trinity Star and Fairfield schools.
