Happy Valentine's Day

Today is not only Valentine's Day, but it is my 49th wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe my husband and I have been married that long. We were married on Valentine's Day because it happened to be the Saturday before Presidents' Day back in 1976. I was a school teacher and had that following Monday off. So it was one less day I would miss from school while we were on our honeymoon. As it turned out, I resigned my teaching position because my husband lived in a small town about fifty miles from my school, and I discovered that fifty miles was too far to drive even for a few months until the end of the school year. 

My Kellersburg series was inspired by the small Ohio towns we lived in when we were first married. You can check out the books in the series by clicking right here. 

Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day?
