LAKE FUN FOR YOU AND ME – On the menu at Bella’s Italian Grille

​This is my newest baby. I got my book proof on May 9th, but it took until June 5th to get my order for books to sell.

​Today I made my first attempt to find a lake home for it.
I’m thrilled to announce we’re on the menu at Bella’s Italian Grille! I hope my book is a tasty addition to their restaurant. I hope you stop in for dinner, and a peak at Lake Fun, Grand Lake Style.

This is the chef at Bella's, who took  a chance on us. I hope she emails so I can add in her name. The portrait to the right is her mother, the original Bella, when she was young. WOW! What a great portrait! I had to take her picture.

Bella’s is on West Bank Road in Celina, Ohio. It’s one of my favorite places, for a Friday date night with my husband. For a special occasion. The food is great!
​
Take a look at the picture below to peek inside Bella’s. Originally I took it because it’s the first restaurant I’ve been in since March. I love how they made social distancing look good! 

If the weather’s nice, take your meal outside. Their patio faces Grand Lake St. Marys. It’s a beautiful view, and perfect for my book about lake fun. Half the book is my story for you. The other half is room for you to become a writer and illustrator too!
​
The restaurant’s namesake is also a writer. I wonder if she’ll get one of my books and become my co-writer/co-illustrator. If she does, we definitely need to do lunch so we can share lakes!
