Do it, Sharon! And I can't wait, and will be first in line to buy it when it's published!

That's really exciting news Sharon -- good for you! Best wishes for every success!!

Ok, but I'm right behind you

Can't WAIT to read it Sharon

Snow drops, crocus, and.... I forget already...

Don't you love how the snow drops are so perfectly painted.

That's wonderful Sharon, can hardly wait to get my autographed copy!!

That sounds great Sharon, and yes, spring is almost here!

Thanks, but y'all have to wait till I get Grannie Laurie off my roof.

But you'll be the first to know, and that's a promise I won't forget.

Cool Sharon..Can't wait to read it I know it will be GREAT

Bittersweet news to me. On the one hand I am always aware of Sharon's here behind every article I see & it's a nice feeling. On the other hand I'm thrilled that you will be writing that long overdue book. I'll be watching in anticipation for it my friend.

Thanks Shannon, and Anni, sweet words from you, too. So very appreciated.

Well yee-haw and apple-pan dowdy! It's about merry ol' time you got back on that book, Sharon. I'll join others in the line for my copy. Course now, if you have an official book signing I guess most of us would come from miles around to get an autographed copy! (And we can swap plants in the process, eh?)

Shoe

Shoe, that's the best idea you've had in the longest time!!

It's exactly what we'll do, a big plant swap/dinner on the ground/book signin' gatherin'!!
You bring some of those heirloom tomatoes, OK?

Oh Sharon, I am so pleased for you. From the short time I have been reading your works I have often thought that it needed to be saved.

I think it is about time that you put in into a book.

Believe me it will be a gift that others will treasure over the years.

Bless your heart, WRITE ON!!!!

You GO girl!

Y'all are very kind.

Somebody asked me earlier today how many Ninna/Aunt Bett articles I'd written and honestly I'm not sure. There are about 200+ on Dave's old Garden, many on Cubits and many here on ATP in addition to two or three others scattered here and there on sites where I've been asked to write. I've been writing them for about 6 years now.

I'm about to run out of words, so it's time to get them all together, rewrite those that must be rewritten, insert the newest ones and get them into some kind of order. So that's my plan.

Thanks so much for your encouragement, and I promise you'll hear me cheering when I finally get it all done.

And we will still hear you chiming in around these parts, even if you have hung the editor's hat on the wall, right?

Oh yeah!!
And I still have a few articles that are waiting to be written, so I won't be very far away.

I'll be standing in line for your book too. Such wonderful stories and it will a best seller.

With all this encouragement, it's for sure I need to get that book done!
Thank you so much, Pegi.

...we are here any time you get writer's block...

And when that happens, I'll come here for inspiration.
Thanks, Debra.
