What a pleasant summer we had in Pennsylvania, but it's only a memory now as we deal with winter and the deepest cold we've experienced in years. It's affecting most of the United States. I guess misery truly loves company, since it seems it's easier to deal with when we check the weather map and see others have it even colder.
I've published the first three books of the series, "Amish Challenge," and am now working on the last book of the series and hope to have it published by late spring.
When I'm not writing, I'm either selling antiques in my shop or adding to my Etsy merchandise. I sell vintage and antique jewelry and other goodies on line. Jim and I have decided to get out of the antique business within this next year. I prefer writing and it's difficult to do both. In the month of May we will have an on-line auction and try to sell most of the antiques we've accumulated over the years.
When in Pennsylvania, Jim stays busy with apartment rentals and gardening, so retirement is busier than ever. We love the way the English people garden, which we observed when we visited their beautiful country a few years back. They fill their gardens with perennials, crowding out the weeds. That's our goal, but so far, the weeds are winning the battle.
Part of the winter we escape to Florida. I couldn't handle the hot summers there, but it certainly is pleasant to walk in 70 degree weather in February.
