Another Show In The Books...

The Lititz Porchwalk...

~ A gorgeous weekend !

~ 72 degree weather !

~ connecting with old friends and

meeting new friends !

Hundreds of people stepped onto 

my porch over 2 days.

The sun was shining brightly 

and the show was a huge success.

But, what touched me most,

were the stories of many of the women, 

who visited.  Women who relied on

their handwork to get them through

the seasons of their lives.

Joyful, happy seasons - 

but also seasons of sorrow and heartache.

Every woman has a story.

Thank you, to so many of you 

that shared your story with me.

I was touched and honored.

A special 'shout out' to Linda and her husband,

who drove all the way from Pittsburgh 

to visit my porch.  Thank You !

Linda brought a few pieces of her beautiful

wool work to show me.

Keep nurturing your talent Linda !!

Thank you to our porch hostesses,

Dave and Judy.  Judy is known 

for her incredible cooking.  She kept us well 

fed during our stay on her porch.

And, I cannot forget  
my sweet little Nennie. (2 years old)

The keeper of Grammy's Porch !

She kept track of the numbers for me !

But, it wasn't all work...

My little 'numbers person'

took breaks watching 'Peppa Pig'

on her Mama's phone.

And, My son played the classics on 

the piano, just off the front porch.

(BTW - the wood floors are 118 years old !!)

Another show in the books - 

I think I'll take the next week and relax...

on second thought...
maybe not !!
