December 2019
The harp business is busy as ever, with orders consistent... which keeps us all very busy. There’s never a dull moment. In May, Alex and I took a few harps to the “Harp Gathering” in Ohio, and we also went to the CHAP homeschool convention in June, and also attended the annual Somerset Harp Festival in Parsippany, NJ, this past July. We usually do quite well at these events, and it generates more business for us.

We just had our annual harp Christmas concert on Dec 6th at Garden Spot Village. It’s an opportunity for young and old, beginner and advance harpists, to come together to provide Heavenly music for the residents at this retirement home. It was special to us to see not only our children, but our grandchildren participate in this event.

We took some time this past March to take a family trip to Williamsburg, VA, with Dena’s family & Emily’s family. During that trip we learned that Emily was expecting another child. On Thursday, November 28th (Thanksgiving Day!) little Madelynn Rose was born!
We look forward with anticipation to this coming spring when Joanna and her family move back East. Lord willing they are planning on purchasing a bed & breakfast not too far from us and having it as a family business called “The Harper’s Inn.” Once this happens, we will announce it on our Facebook page... so stay tuned!
