It’s been nearly ten years since we retired. I’m still in the office Duane and the boys created for me. The seven quilts I promised to make have been completed. A few books. He has new knees and new guitars. We’ve had grief and loss in these years, occasional discontent, times of being alone even when we were together. We’ve also had a blessed amount of fun. Of music and laughter and family. Of the other side of being alone that comes of knowing we never really are.
Much has changed in those nine years and change, and much has stayed the same. At first, it seemed as if this book was a vanity thing. Or a thing for the grandkids to look at and think Okay, Nana, what do you want me to do with this? But in the end, like most other things in life that are worthwhile, it is a labor of love. A gathering of thoughts and dreams and memories.
Thanks for joining me on the journey.

A great collection of stories. Some stories are thought-provoking, some are emotion-filled, and other stories will put a smile on your face. I am very familiar with the Window Over The Sink column, but it was great to read an anthology of these stories in one book. This non-fiction book is the perfect read for a lazy weekend.
