It’s kind of you to mention my Kobie books along with anything by Phyllis Whitney, one of my all-time favorite writers. I don’t have the Journals of Lucy Maude Montgomery, but I’m going to fix that right now! Thanks!

I think a lot of us are hunkering down and finding solace in the things that have stood the test of time, old books, old friends, old places.

And you could write it!

It has been difficult to find peace during the past months, but I to find quiet and comfort in my old favorite books from my collection.
To mention a few – The Kobie series by you, Amethyst Dreams by Phyllis Whitney and The Journals of Lucy Maude Montgomery. I always know they will carry me away to a time and place of comfort, like dear old friends.

There’s a book title or an opening to a book – “He planted lovely peas.”

So many people marched that day, but I wanted peace, not more stirring up. This was the best I could do. I wish you had been there with me!

You might remember I’ve been working on my own Jefferson book for years now, also on a small piece of his life. But there are no small pieces of Jefferson–you have to take it all into context. I’ve talked to Jefferson scholars who admit to feeling paralyzed before writing about him. But he did plant lovely peas . . .

I’ve tried and tried to write something about his garden of peas, but have somehow not been able to figure it out. As you say, we don’t know him.

I don’t know if I rock, but be glad you’re in Edinburgh! Right now the Highlands sound good.
