Storytelling is Such a Gas!!
Wow!!! what an amazing week —-So much is happening and I would like to tell you all about my exciting time with “Meet the Farties.” On one of our many road trips we made a stop in Goderich. We dropped off “Meet the Farties” book and the Farties business card for Kevin MacDonald at 104.9 The Beach in Goderich.
I also talked to Dominique at the Signal Star newspaper and they want to do an interview with me and “Meet the Farties”. I am excited about getting the word out in Goderich where I lived, owned and operated my business and still have many friends.
Kevin had been away on holidays for a week –lucky him!!…..so I waited until he returned to call him. He started laughing and said that would be a hoot to have us on as The Fartie Ladies” talking about “Meet the Farties”, so up we got very early in the morning and away we went to Goderich to be on 104.9 The Beach. It is about a 2 hour drive …but… we wanted to be there in person as it is so much more fun chatting with people.
When we got there, Kevin couldn’t stop laughing and the other gentleman that works there was having so much fun with the “Famous Fartie Sound Machine!!!
The interview went really well and a lot of people heard us and ran out to buy our “Meet the Farties” book. I got a call right after the interview from FINCHER’s in Goderich (where the book is selling off the shelf), that they needed 20 more books (YES!!!) and could I signed 10 of them. YES, I could!!! I was so happy!!! It was well worth the 2 hour drive early in the morning.
Kevin asked us to tell everybody about our story-telling adventure that took place at the Bookery Cafe in Listowel this past Saturday, March 13th at 3:00. We had a fantastic time getting all dressed up. Don’t we look cute???
The other Fartie lady, my daughter … Rhonda-Lee, was feeling a little nervous as this was her first time doing the story telling with me…..I think the nervous part was that I sometimes do things differently than I rehearse them with her… sometimes I have brain farties going on…….LOL
“”BUT”" Rhonda-Lee did wonderfully well. Look how adorable she is in her Bright Pink Whoopee Costume. Mrs. Whoopee would be soooooooo proud!!!
Love the hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well we hooted and rooted and tooted our way into the hearts of all the children …even the parents.
They laughed and laughed and it was so cute to see the little children helping us out by pushing the Famous Fartie Sound machine throughout the story telling.
We had little “Fartie Rap” songs to get the energy going …but…I must say it did not need much as the giggles and the smiles just kept on coming for the whole time.
We had a great time and Debb from the Bookery Café was so impressed that we can go back to do it again in the future.
There is nothing better than happy, giggling little children to make your heart feel good!!!! Laughter is sooooooo good for the soul!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘Meet the Farties” books were such a big hit with the kids and grown ups too. The Bookery Café quickly sold out …but.. never fear, no one went without “Meet the Farties’ books. I had my secret stash of more books.
After our big story telling debut in Listowel, we all went to my niece’s and had some snacks.. …..we had such a good time looking at all the pictures.
The next day it was back to Listowel to see my little grandson play in the hockey tournament. It was great to see some of the same parents and their children at the arena that were at the story telling.
I looked over and saw one little girl wearing her bright orange Fartie t-shirt and reading her “Meet the Farties” Book..
Wherever we go and whatever we do, if “Meet the Farties” gives the children laughter and fun, then the little “BUTTS” have done us proud.
Also, my grandson was excellent playing hockey…..Maybe the little “BUTTS” will play hockey too ………who knows what the little “BUTTS” will be doing in the future!!!l
All in all it was a great week so until next time, keep to the Fartie Power and let the wind set you free.
And…………..PLEASE…don’t forget your manners!!!!!!!!!!
