BYOB for the kid set
Say kids, have you heard mommy and daddy talk about going to a BYOB party?
Did you wonder what that meant?
We have the answer today. For those going to Easter egg hunts, it’s usually BYOB.
That means Bring Your Own Basket, and, in this weather, boots.
Children’s book author signs books today: Sharon Standish of Marysville, who wrote a children’s book called “Ganly Delivers Parcel and Post, Bountiful Blessings Township,” is scheduled to sign copies from noon to 3 p.m. today at Tree of Life Christian Outlet at Seattle Premium Outlet in Marysville.
We wrote a column headlined “Despite illness, Marysville writer finds blessings in writing” on Aug. 19, 2009.
Standish said she wrote and illustrated the book during challenging days. She has Parkinson’s disease, dystonia disease, severe sleep apnea and cancer and has survived a heart attack.
Ganly the postman lives in Bountiful Blessings Township. He is a hedgehog.
