Window Over the Sink
Description
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.

Person
Retired from the post office, Liz Flaherty spends non-writing time sewing, quilting, and doing whatever else she wants to. She and Duane live in the old farmhouse in North Central Indiana they moved to in 1977. They've talked about moving, but really...40-some years' worth of stuff? It's not happening!
She'd love to hear from you at lizkflaherty@gmail.com
