This is where many of her short stories occur in her mind. The story of \u003cem\u003eMessy Bessie Goes to Town \u003c\/em\u003eis unique because it happened while Annette was sitting at her quilting frame looking out into her backyard. She quickly gathered a pen and a piece of paper and wrote down the story as it was pictured in her mind moments earlier. The short story of Messy Bessie shares a tale that there is someone for everyone and that happiness can be found in the simplest of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Today, Annette still lives in that small country town with her husband of sixty years and they are blessed with a family that has grown over the years. Annette hopes that she can pass along her love of reading by sharing stories with her grandchildren and now great-grandchildren!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e If you visit her small Pennsylvania village, you might see Annette reading a book on her front porch swing, sitting at her kitchen window, working on her latest quilt, planting flowers, or on Tuesday morning, quilting with her friends in the old town schoolhouse.
