Getting ready for Keeping House to come out is exciting, and last summer I was able to go back to Amarillo, Texas and visit friends. One gal in particular I enjoyed seeing is Dr. Geneva Priddy, who works out at Boys Ranch. She is also an artist and writer, and she has published a number of children's books that feature her grandkids as characters. Geneva is the real deal, Texas style. She lives on a ranch, has a herd of cows, and brings new meaning to the phrase "self-sufficient". I once went to visit her ranch--I was such a city girl. I saw a snake and freaked out! I hope that doesn't end up in a book of Geneva's--City Girl Scared!
