Barb Pfankuch hosted the Rosemary Woods/Tuckaway book club event we were invited to attend again this March. She's been such a wonderful supporter of Sandy's; she also happens to be her daughter in law! Not only has she hosted two book club events, she organized a Health Partners book signing event this year as well. Thank you Barb!
It means the world to Sandy and I to have such strong family support. Sandy's husband Bob passed in 2010 but I know he would be proud and happy knowing his family helps to promote her books and allows her to continue doing something she feels is so rewarding.
The ladies in the book club are great, interesting and we always have a lot of fun visiting with them. They read "The Last Dance" and shared their favorite parts comparing and contrasting this book with "Timber". A few ladies with strong farm connections commented that they especially loved this book because of the farm scenes. I agree, being a native Minnesotan I love the culture of small towns and family farms.
Sandy made her special homemade sticky buns (or cinnamon rolls as I call them) for the ladies to enjoy and to thank Barb for all her efforts. For "Last Dance" readers, this gesture will remind you of Martha. She was partially fashioned after Sandy's mom Frieda. My grandma Frieda was a farm girl and learned to cook wonderful homestyle comfort food on the farm. She made us this special treat when we were growing up. Now my daughter and I both make these rolls carrying on the tradition and making new memories for our families.
