Here is my sweet daughter Katie with her favorite author Valerie Tripp. She says this was the best day ever.
We had a great time. First that Friday we went to a wonderful local farm with our homeschooling group. Then we headed out to Indian Creek Youth Camp for a great lecturship from Apologetics Press on Christian Evidences. Then after lunch on Sat. we headed to Georgia. We had a great time as a family and great time with friends..
On Sunday afternoon we got to meet Valerie Tripp. She was wonderful. Before meeting her I was a little worried. She is Katie's favorite author and I didn't know what to expect (how would she act, would she live up to Katie's expectations, Would this meeting leave Katie upset or happy). I was blown away. She took so much time talking to Katie, telling her about her process of writing. Some of her stories from childhood that influenced her books. Telling about some of her family that influenced her books. She sat and let us take pictures, ask questions and even gave Katie her email address. And can you believe she even takes the time to email Katie back and answer her questions. Wow! What an amazing lady. I have a child who loves her favorite author even more and I'm a happy mom. Katie has always loved reading. I'm so proud all my concerns were unfounded and she left Katie with even a greater appreciation for books.
