About the Author

Valerie Katz was a California girl. There were never any plans to live anywhere else. At age 67 she made a completely unexpected move to Arkansas, She has 4 children and 6 grandchildren who are still astounded and amused by the move. In an attempt to keep in touch with family and friends, she started sending email accounts of all the new and different things in her new life, most of which she found quite amusing. After purchasing their new home, it was a full year before the move could be made. There were many things that happened along the way that made the move possible. Valerie looks at these things as God's hand in her life. When asked, she will say she is in beautiful Arkansas because this is where God wants her.
