Hi Yvonne!
This was a great interview. I loved the part about “don’t try to do too much at once.” I know how that goes first hand. I’ve never really lived in a big city, just a town as a youngster, I’ve been country most of my adult life. Wouldn’t want it any other way.

Yvonne, that’s a great interview.
Years ago we decided to move out of the “city” when the kids were out of school and able to transport themselves etc. – and by the time it happened I had just turned 50. What I had anticipated to be just a little more than a change of address, turned out to be a completely new lifestyle as I quit my former occupation and turned in to a full time “country gardener”.
I too, want to get that book for my winter reads.

When I saw the title I knew it was something I wanted to read. We’re making the move next year and I’ll be fifty in 13 days. This interview increases my anticipation at getting the book. It’s on hold @ the library. Thanks for the added excitement.

Great to hear about Sonia’s country experience. So glad you did the interview. Definitely want to read the book.

And now am dying to know the town she lives near!
