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)
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 !!
maybe not !!
