8-10-06 The Island Bookstore, Mackinac Island.  Thanks to everyone who came to see us at the Island Bookstore on Mackinac Island!  And a special thanks to wonderful Tamora, for making our visit extra special and fun!  But no visit would be complete without a little bat hanging around-it must've been joining in on Darrin's  drawing lesson.  Another wonderful surprise was meeting Darrin Michael Bell!  No kidding!
