An Incredible Book Journey: Time Was Soft There

Over the next six weeks, I will have the joy of visiting independent bookstores in 23 cities. Follow the trip and meet the many wonderful friends, book people and random characters I encounter along the way.

Dinner with the Ebners



Anybody visiting Calgary should definitely meet Dave's family. They are wonderful wonderful wonderful. There is a garden and even a little greenhouse in the backyard for fresh vegetables it the fall. And a place to smoke salmon, built by Dave's dad. And great birdfeeders. And the wine room where Dave's dad turns grape juice into great wine.

It was simply so much fun eating and talking and schnappsing. We could have kept it up until 6 in the morning and we have promised that next time we will. Dave's dad is Erwin and his mom is Annelies. Good good people.
