I can’t believe that it’s been a year since I retired last December. I’ve been posting some updates in my author newsletter about what I’ve been doing each month. I also wrote a monthly blog post, but I stopped after six months. Here is an update for the fall and winter. This will be the end of my posts on this topic, but if you’d like to subscribe to Ruff Drafts, my author newsletter, I’ll continue my updates there.

AUGUST: Farm visits; Huntington Lighthouse Tour; Catpurrccinos Cat Cafe.
SEPTEMBER: Whale watching tour, Freeport; Old Bethpage Village Fair; Otto the Ghost at Hicks Fall Festival, Westbury; Old Westbury Gardens’ 1st. Asian Festival.

2024 will start a new set of adventures for our family as we make our move South. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year, too.

Thank you, Crystal. I’ve still been working as a sub at the library, so my official retirement won’t be until my move in March and, who knows, maybe I’ll do some work then, too. Of course, I’m always writing. Have a wonderful Christmas, too!
