Hot off the Press

Well, it's official - I'm a published author!

And it's a collector's edition at that! There's only one copy in print.

Months ago, I started checking into getting our blog printed. I tried several different websites that pulled all of your information from your blog into a book format, but I couldn't edit it, and I wasn't happy with their formats - The pictures were in one set part of the page, and the text didn't always jive with the pictures. So, I ended up cutting and pasting each blog into a MS Word document and was able to move the pictures around and get the layout that I was looking for. I uploaded it to lulu.com and voila - here it is!

I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. The pictures turned out pretty good, and with a couple of very minor editing issues, it's exactly what I wanted. I hope the family will enjoy looking through it over the years. And if you find yourself with an uncontrollable urge to get your own copy (ha, ha!), I think you can do a search for it on lulu.com.

I guess I'd better get busy on the 2009 book! I just know all of you will be waiting with baited breath to get your hands on a copy of the next fantastic saga of the Samuelson family!
