Happy 11th Birthday to My Book Project
It's easy to keep track of my book project's birthday because it all started in October of 2006, when Elias turned 6. Now he's 17, and I am so close to being done, I would love to whip up a cake and celebrate. But I will have to hold that out as an incentive while I finish this last important stage of the project: revision. Instead, I am marking the occasion (a few weeks late) with a slice of fresh-out-of-the-oven pumpkin bread.
I didn't set out to write a book in October 2006. I only intended to help my dad with some research about his paternal grandfather, G. Oliver Riggs, in preparation for the St. Cloud Municipal Band's 120th anniversary concert the following spring.
