Good News!

We made it to Florida but we are only now beginning "regular life." And here in Florida it has been quite cold. Yes, not as cold as in PA but cold for here. I have been hoping the oranges do not freeze as I love the Florida orange juice ...it is one of the things I really miss when I am away and I even pay a little extra for it.

January disappeared just the way I thought it might. Sort of in a busy blur. We opened up here and then went to Venice, Fl to move my mother-in-law out of assisted living. Our daughter, Phoebe, met us there as she had been given a grandfather clock. Phoebe came back home with us and was busy scanning photos and letters for the next week. January was a "moving month" for many in our family. Our middle son and wife are now in Tanzania till April and our youngest son and his wife moved to a new apt in Baltimore. All of a sudden it was February!

BUT good news had arrived in January An article I had written called "New York Calling" has been accepted for a Cup of Comfort - Bible Promises anthology which should be out this fall or winter/spring of 2010. I'm not sure exactly when...maybe even sooner since the editor said there is a promotional opportunity for it coming up.

That is my encouragement to make the most of these coming months in Florida when life will be slower and I should have time to write. Our oldest son, Ethan, is working on a follow-up article to "Why Galilee?" for the Torah class website and my husband is hoping to get his book completed and out this spring! And today the sun is shining. PTL!
