Wine and Words and Me!

Posted on August 11, 2019August 11, 2019 by Joan Hasskamp

Another wonderful Wine and Words presented by the Friends of the Brainerd Library. A great lineup of authors. A fun evening! And I behaved…mostly!!

With Cary Griffith. Loved his book, Lost in the Wild. Highly recommend!

With Kristina McMorris and Lorna Landvik. Just finished Kristina’s book, Sold on a Monday. Great read!

With Allen Eskens. This was after I snuck up on him. Highly recommend The Life We Bury.

With Randy Susan Meyers. She has the cutest NY accent.

Allen Eskens I Couldn’t Help Myself!

Allen Eskens, author of The Life We Bury, probably will want to bury me if he ever sees this photo!! He was totally clueless to my antics. My impulse control disorder made me do it!! Or at least, it’s a good excuse! I do entertain myself!!

Hitchhiking Around the World, Martin stops in Crosby! Smart man!!!!

Posted on July 12, 2019 by Joan Hasskamp

My brother John and I had a great time hanging out with Martin for a short while. He is an inspiration! While I would never want to spend ten years hiking around the world, he has inspired me to spread my wings and take a jaunt to someplace exotic and out of the ordinary. So, I’m off to Nimrod, MN!!
