August 2, 2010 WOW-ZINE

Hi, ladies, and welcome to a different format for this week. I'm out of town at a writers' conference and have been busy preparing for it for the past week. There hasn't been much time to interview anyone. So ... a change of pace! I will just mention our up-coming event and post pictures of previous activities. I'm not really good at getting the pictures to line up on the page the right way, so you may have to use your imagination!

This week's event: I'd like to thank Christine Hoffmann for the idea of going to the Sweetest Thing Cupcakes. I just heard about this cute bakery in Newberg last week. They focus on cupcakes, and I have it on good authority that they are absolutely delicious! So, the plan is to meet at Scoggins Coffee parking lot at 5 PM Wednesday. Then you can condense cars and travel to Newberg for a snack of incredible, edible cupcakes. Yes, I know that's early for dessert, but they close at 7 PM, and it will take about 25 minutes to get there. So plan your eating schedule for the day around that! For those of you who work outside the home, just join the women in Newberg as soon as you're able. I sure wish I could attend this yummy event, so you guys will just have to tell me all about it. Check out their website and get directions at http://www.sweetestthingcupcakes.com/.
