Pink Saturday #11

I think I am finally getting to the end of the pictures I took at the Pez Museum. It is not really a very big place, but there is a lot to absorb in there. And I still didn't touch on everything they had there. It is amazing how much is in that small place.

This picture above is a photo of a couple of the For Better For Worse comic strip in a frame. They are autographed by Lynn Johnston. Included in the frame is a note from Lynn which is a thank you for a Pez bouquet she had gotten from them. It looks like the word "Note" is in pink.

In this picture is a few of my collection of her books. Being Pink Saturday I included the only one I have with a pink cover. If you saw my "100 random facts about me" post, you will have seen that I mentioned having two books autographed by Lynn Johnston. The book on the right "The Last Straw" is about the 3rd book in her collection. It was the one I was missing several years ago. I looked everywhere for a copy. I checked online and kept getting a message that the book was out of print. Aack! How was I going to get a copy? I happen to find Lynn Johnston's website, where I go visit everyday now, and I noticed there was a link to contact them. So I did and asked them where could I get a copy of that book. They wrote me back asking for my address and said they would mail me a copy. I did that and after a few days or so, I was surprised to actually get the book. And not only that, but the book was autographed! However, there was no bill included with the shipment. I wrote back asking how much I owed, and I never heard back from them. So I guess it was intended as a gift. Of course I was thrilled with that!

This picture shows my two books with her autograph. The second book I got from her in person. She was at the Charles Schulz Museum a few years ago and we went to go hear her speak. She did drawings with an overhead projector as she spoke. It was so cool to see her for real. Her Silver Annivesary collection was just out. They had it available for purchase at the museum. So we bought one and got in line to have it autographed. It was so cool to get that. We knew one of the volunteer docents there. Actually he is a pastor and he has been a guest pastor at our church several times, including when I happen to be the organist. So because of that he remembered who I am. He gave us a personal tour of the museum that evening after we got our book signed.

Happy Pink Saturday to everyone. Thank you to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. Her link is in my side bar. Click on the pink doll and visit others who are participating in Pink Saturday. Thank you for visiting me.
