Young House Love at the Portland Home and Garden Expo

Sherry Petersik of Young House Love (like you didn't know who she is) and me:

John and Sherry speaking during the Blogging Seminar at the expo:

John and Sherry were so nice which was really refreshing and just makes you so happy for them and the continued success of their careers as bloggers.

Thank you John and Sherry for coming to the west coast. I look forward to your book tour in the fall. P.S. John and Sherry: Come to Seattle, or even better, Sequim! I know you want to...
