Responsibility - Part 2

Good Evening Friday Fiction Fans,
 I'm writing this Thursday evening as we have to leave for the convention at 7:45 and I probably won't have much time to do anything online in the morning. So . . .

I really don't know what to tell you this time. I got a little bit of writing for "Dr. Morgan" done this week as well as just a little of one of the stories for TCR-4. I haven't "officially" started writing TCR-4, this was just an idea I had and I wanted to get it written.

Now I think I'll head to bed. It'll be a busy day tomorrow. Will any of you lovely readers be at the conference?

And now enjoy this next part of—

Responsibility

Part 2

    The late summer sun was warm, but Preston was grateful for its light. It would make tracking her horse a little easier if she wasn’t in her usual haunts. But if she wasn’t there, where could she be?
    The evening stillness was descending on nature as Preston rode up to Dani’s favorite fishing spot. “Dani!” he called.
    There was no answer save for the sound of the water tumbling over a small waterfall some fifty feet away.
    Swinging down from his horse, Preston dropped the reins and looked about. There was no sign of a light colored horse anywhere. Upon hearing a movement on the other side of a large oak tree near the bank of the stream, Preston frowned and his long strides quickly carried him across the few separating yards; however, the only thing there was a squirrel who, on catching sight of him, scampered up the tree and scolded.
    “Dani?” he shouted, and again there was no answer.
    “Well, it’s pretty clear she’s isn’t anywhere around here.” With a shake of his head, Preston remounted, turned the horse’s head towards the meadow and nudged him into a canter.
    He reached the large pleasant meadow only minutes before Raymond arrived. “No sign of her?” he asked as his younger brother rode up.
    Raymond shook his head. “No, she hasn’t been up there since last week.”
    “Last week? How do you know?”
    “There’s no new notch.”
    “Notch? Ray, what are you talking about?”
    On seeing that Preston was confused, Raymond quickly explained. “Didn’t you know she puts a new notch on that old dead tree near the promontory every time she goes there? She told me that in the spring when we went up there together. I was up last week and counted the notches as I always do; it’s the same number it was then.”
    Preston sighed. “Hopefully Levi will find her. While we wait for him or the signal, let’s ride around the meadow and look for any sign of her coming this way. That way if Levi doesn’t find her . . .”
    “I was just thinking the same thing.”
    Each taking a different direction, Preston and Raymond started off around the meadow, hoping to find something or hear the signal shots from Levi announcing Danielle had been found. There were no shots and in another five minutes Levi rode into the meadow.
    “Any sign of her?” he called to the others.
    “No,” Preston shouted back.
    “Dani!” Levi bellowed.
    A sudden shout from Raymond brought the other brothers to him at a dead run. Raymond was out of the saddle and down on one knee in the shadow of the surrounding woods by a small but distinct trail. “Hoof prints,” he pointed out as Preston and Levi joined him. “Fresh ones too and the right size for Dani’s horse.”
    “You really think she’d try exploring these woods alone?” Preston wondered. “Without permission?”
    Levi snorted. “We are talking about Dani, the one who doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything, and doesn’t think about things until afterwards, remember?”
    “Where does this trail lead?”
    “Oh, it winds through the woods and splits off several times. I’ve been out hunting this way before,” Raymond remarked, looking up at his brothers.
    “Well, what are we waiting for?” Levi demanded. “Let’s get moving.”
    In single file the Perry brother’s headed off into the woods with Raymond in the lead. The shadow of night was already falling under the shelter of the tall trees, even though the sun had not yet set.
    “Dani! Dani!” the calls rang out through the woods every few paces, but only the twitter of hidden birds and the soft thud of the horses’ feet answered. The darkness grew deeper and soon the three riders stopped to light lanterns.
    “How much longer is this trail, Ray,?” Preston inquired.
    Raymond shrugged. “I’ve never reached the end. It splits off soon and then again a little later.”
    “Ever reach the end of those trails?” Levi asked.
    “Nope.”
    On they rode, growing more anxious with each passing minute. Were they even on the right track, Preston wondered? Had she been found and was their mother now worried about them?
    “Here’s the fist split,” Raymond remarked, pointing to a path that at first seemed to parallel the one they had been on. “It turns off to the west in a little while.”
    “I’ll take it,” Preston said quietly, turning his horse. “Two shots if you find her,” he reminded the others who agreed quickly and were soon lost in the darkness, the thick foliage hiding their lanterns.
    “Dani!” Preston shouted into the still night air. “Dani!”
    “Help!” The answer was faint but seemed to come from the direction Preston was headed.
    Urging his horse forward, he called again. The answer that came was much closer and unmistakably Danielle’s voice. Drawing his pistol, Preston fired two quick shots in the air and hurried on.
    The trail twisted and turned and Preston wondered if he’d ever reach his sister, but at last the light of his lantern fell on a well known horse.
    “Sundance,” he exclaimed softly. Dismounting quickly, he calmly made his way around the horse to find Danielle lying on the ground near a fallen tree.
    “Dani!” he exclaimed, dropping onto the trail beside her and setting the lantern down. “Dani, are you all right?”
    For answer, the girl opened her eyes, tried to sit up and fell crying into his arms. “I think so,” she whimpered. “I was afraid you’d never find me.” She sniffed. “I thought I’d die out here.”
    From her dramatic way of talking, Preston knew she couldn’t be much hurt and he asked, “What happened? Can you get up?”
    Dani shook her head, brushing away her tears. “No, my foot is caught in the tree and I can’t budge it an inch.”
    Shouts were heard down the trail and Preston called back. In another minute Levi and Raymond had joined them.
    “Just where have you been, young lady,” Levi demanded when she smiled up at him.
    “Hold it, Levi,” Preston directed firmly. “Let’s get her free from this tree and home before Mother is beside herself with worry. There’ll be time enough for talk after that.”

Any thoughts?

Will you be back next Friday?

Responsibility - Part 1

Good Morning Friday Fiction Fans,
It looks like it's going to be a beautiful sunny day. I hear it's supposed to be warmer today than it was most of the rest of the week. Since the storms on Sunday it's been cooler. In the 50's during the day and 40's at night.

Here's an overview of my week just in case you are interested. If not, you can skip down to the story. :)
Friday was pretty typical. We cleaned house in the morning, but then after supper there was a bit of excitement in the neighborhood. We saw 2 firetrucks heading up the street. We weren't sure where they went, so I got my shoes on and headed out to see. Some friends down the road joined me and we walked down to see what was going on. This was after one truck had left leaving two others and we could tell they were finished with whatever they were doing because they were putting their hoses away. It turns out that an older lady had left something on the stove and left the house. (No one was sure where she went.) Smoke was billowing out of the house and the firemen kicked the door in and took care of it. They said there was only smoke damage. So, don't leave anything on the stove if you are going to leave the house!
Saturday came and brought some rain in the morning and cool temperatures. I did some yard work, mowed the yard and then helped Dad plant 3 trees.
On Sunday we had everyone at church except one family! Plus we had two other couples. It was full and fun.
Monday started out the same but then I got a message from CreateSpace telling me one of my book files was corrupted and I would need to reload it. Well, that was the book I had been wanting to edit again and fix some of the layout. (My first book I published on my own.) So I spend a lot of time that day going through my book and marking places that needed fixed. In the evening I started making corrections.
Tuesday morning found me back at work making more corrections and finally uploading the new file. That night S and I babysat the kiddos. Do you go "camping" in your living room? We did. Not for real, but they all got their sleeping bags out, turned out the lights and I told stories. :)
Wednesday was full of usual things. I did start writing in the evening again. Something I haven't done since I finished TCR-3. This time I worked on "Dr. Morgan."
Yesterday I went shopping in the morning, read in the afternoon, wrote in the evening. I did do other things, but you probably wouldn't be interested in a complete telling of each day. :P

After much thinking and debating between Me, Myself and I, it was decided that I should post part of of this 3 part story since I will be out of town next week at the Arlington, TX convention. This way I can have part 2 ready to post ahead of time without having to figure out what to post. :) So I hope you enjoy this first part. And, if any of you are going to be at the Arlington home-school convention, be sure you stop by the Light of Faith booth and look me up. :)

Responsibility

Part 1

    Preston drew rein at the Perry ranch and climbed down from the buggy. “Hi, Raymond,” he greeted his younger brother.
    Raymond strode over. “Hello. How are things in town?”
    Shrugging, Preston turned to unhitch the horse. “Just fine. Lend me a hand here, will you. Mr. Birks—”
    “Preston!” a new voice shouted from the stables and both brothers turned. “Did you see Dani anywhere when you drove in?”
    The eldest Perry son shook his head and straightened up a moment. “No, Levi, I didn’t see any sign of her. Why?”
    Pushing his hat back on his head and looking disgusted, Levi approached the buggy with his quick stride. “She went for a ride right after lunch, isn’t back yet, and she has chores waiting. This is the fourth time this week she’s been late, and Raymond, when she does get back, don’t help her with her chores.”
    Preston finished unhitching the horse as he said, “Well, I wouldn’t worry yet, Levi. You know how she is when she is off riding that horse of hers. Give her a little more time.” Having taken over the roll as “head of the family” since their father had died nine years before, Preston tended to be more lenient with his youngest sister than Levi. Still, there was a limit even with him, and seeing Levi’s frown deepen, promised, “I’ll have a talk with her when she gets back. And Ray, Levi’s right, don’t help her. She needs to learn to be responsible.”
    “All right,” Raymond agreed easily. “I’ll let her do her own chores.”

    Several minutes later the three brothers entered the house and were greeted by Mrs. Perry. “Supper will be ready shortly,” she told them as they kissed her. “But you have plenty of time to wash up first. By the way, where is Danielle?”
    “Late again,” Levi grumbled before taking the stairs two at a time as he went to clean up for supper. Raymond followed.
    Mrs. Perry sighed and looked up at her eldest son. “You may have to do something, Preston. I talked to her last time and it doesn’t seem to have done any good.” Sometimes this youngest daughter of hers was more tiring and bewildering to Mrs. Perry then her three sons had been when they were young.
    “I plan to have a talk with her this evening,” Preston assured her. “Don’t worry, Mother, she’ll learn, even if it’s the hard way.” Smiling, he bent and kissed her again. “Now,” he added quickly in low tones, “I’d better hurry and clean up before Natalie comes in.” He had heard his sister’s voice speaking to someone in the dining room and now hurried after his brothers.
    Mrs. Perry smiled after him, thankful for such a strong, clear headed eldest son to lean on.
    “Mother,” Natalie asked, coming in moments after Preston’s form had disappeared up the stairs, “have the boys come in yet?”
    Mrs. Perry laughed, “Yes, Dear, they are just washing up. But Danielle hasn’t returned from her ride yet.”
    “Honestly, Mother!” Natalie exclaimed in exasperation. “Why can’t she learn to be on time?” Natalie’s dislike of anything or anyone unpunctual was well known in the house and had been a source of grief and strife several times not only for Danielle, but also for the boys.
    “Preston has promised to talk to her,” Mrs. Perry remarked quietly.
    “I don’t know what good talking will do,” Natalie grumbled, “but if he promised, he’ll do it.”

    Danielle still hadn’t returned from her ride when the family sat down to eat. Several times Mrs. Perry glanced anxiously towards the window in hopes of seeing her young daughter riding in, but as the minutes ticked by and still there was no sign of her, she began to grow restless and toyed with the food on her plate. Danielle had never been quite this late before.
    Watching the worried frown begin to creep over his mother’s face, Preston placed his napkin beside his plate and stood up. “Stop fretting, Mother,” he smiled. “We’ll go out and find Dani. Come on, boys.”
    “She’s probably not too far away either,” Raymond added, pushing back his chair. “She could be fishing.”
    Taking one last swallow of coffee, Levi threw his napkin on the table and stood. “It shouldn’t take us long to find her, but” he added scowling, “she’s taking care of her chores before she eats her supper.”
    Putting on a brave smile, Mrs. Preston said, “I told her if she was late again she would have to eat bread and butter in the kitchen.”
    “You shouldn’t have told her that, Mother,” Raymond laughed. “You know she’d rather stay comfortable in her dirty riding clothes than get dressed up for table.” Then he dropped a kiss on his mother’s cheek and followed his brothers out of the dining room.

    Out by the stables, Preston, Levi and Raymond were saddling their horses. “Dani better have a good reason for not getting back on time,” Raymond remarked. “She sure has Mother worried.”
    “Not to mention chores that haven’t been attended to. Preston,” Levi eyed his brother over the back of his horse as he tightened the cinch, “if you don’t turn that child over your knee when we get her back home—”
    “Easy Levi,” Preston remonstrated, “I thought I was going handle her.”
    “You are. Just don’t be too soft on her.”
    Mounting his horse, Raymond put in, “Worrying Mother and skipping her chores four days in a week shouldn’t be taken lightly, Preston. If I had tried that even twice when I was her age—”
    “You did,” Preston laughed. “As did Levi.”
    “Hmm,” Levi grunted, “seems as though I remember something about that.”
    As the three brothers were about to ride out of the gate, one of the men from the ranch came into view and Levi called out to him, “Jacobson, have you seen Dani?”
    The man shook his head and cradled the sling his right arm was in a little closer to himself. “Not since she left.”
    “Did she say where she was going?” inquired Preston.
    Scratching his head in thought, Jacobson at last shook his head again. “No, she didn’t say anything to me. Is she missing?”
    “Yes. We’re going out to look for her.” Then struck with a thought, Preston instructed, “Jacobson, tell Hawkins that if we aren’t back in an hour, he’s to get the men into search parties and start looking. If she’s not in the few places she usually goes, there’s no telling where she is.”
    The man nodded and the horsemen rode off. For several minutes they rode together in silence. At last Raymond remarked, “If we’re to check her favorite places, we’d better split up.”
    “I was just thinking the same thing,” Levi nodded. “Ray, head up to the promontory. Preston, why don’t you take her fishing hole and I’ll head over to the south pasture. Fire two quick shots if you find her. If we don’t hear the shots we’ll meet in the meadow near the creek. The sun won’t set for another hour, so there should be plenty of time.”
    This was agreed on and they each set off in a different direction. Preston noticed that he had been assigned the most likely place for their little sister to be, while Levi had chosen the most unlikely place. Smiling to himself, he realized that Levi was not in a mood to deal with Danielle and he sincerely hoped that he or Raymond would find her.

Where do you think Dani is?

Why hasn't she returned?

Who will find her?

Will you be back next week for Part 2?

Dr. Morgan - Part 17

Hello FFFs,
The sun is out this morning and everything seems to fairly sparkle in the light of the new day. Yesterday it was cloudy and rainy, but the clear sky this morning bids promise of a lovely day of sunshine and warmer weather. Everything is green around here.

I wanted to tell each of you who commented last week thank you. I really enjoyed the comments and learning where some more of my readers were from. I hope you all enjoyed the last parts of the Graham Quartet. If you get any idea for other stories about the Graham Quartet, let me know. You can either leave a comment or drop me an e-mail at: readanotherpage [at] gmail [dot] com

This week has made me a year older. :) But what did I do?
Sat.—My brother and Doodle Bug (2 1/2 years old) came over for a little while. Doodle Bug got to stay here while his dad went somewhere. He and I were playing and in the kitchen when he heard we were going to have ice cream for Grammy and Beh Beh's birthday. His response very enthusiastically: "Oh, that will be good!" :)
Easter Sunday— Since there was only going to be one other family at our church, we both decided to go visit another church. It was one we had both gone to years before and many of our friends were going there now. It was good to get to see old friends again.
Monday—Our friends from down the street (my best friends' family) came down to visit a little. My sister's best friend growing up was visiting with her children and my best friend who got married to a Canadian last spring was also visiting, so it was good to see them. It was only the girls who came down. Then that evening my brother and sis-in-law and the kids came over to celebrate my mom's and my birthday. That was fun. :)
Tuesday—I got a year older. Strange how that happens so quickly. I also got taken out to lunch by my best friends and the husband. :) Then we headed off. It was a lovely day, and we enjoyed our time together.
Wednesday—I made some corrections in TCR-3 and worked on some other things.
Thursday—I was able to finish re-reading TCR-3. Now I need to divide it into chapters and get it to my illustrator and let a few people test read it. If you ever want to test read one of my books, let me know. I like having different people reading different books. Last night was slightly chilly, but my best friends were willing to stroll around the blocks with me. :)

And now I don't know what to post. I was going to let you all decide what you wanted to read, but I had 4 votes for Dr. Morgan and 4 votes for something else. :P Not very nice of you. :( Hmm, what do I want to post this morning? Let me go look.
Well, here you go.

Dr. Morgan

Part 17

    “Third,” and Mr. Morgan smiled, “if you keep coming up to the house, your colleagues might decide you can’t handle a hospital without running home every day to talk to your parents.”
    “What? Is Justin talking about running away again?” Dr. Wright knocked lightly on the open door and stepped inside. “First he won’t leave the hospital and now all he wants to do is run away. I saw Mr. Morgan, you should have taught your son some responsibility.”
    Mr. Morgan laughed with Dr. Wright as he stood to shake hands with him. “I’m just trying to convince him to stick around here for a time and see if he won’t like it.”
    “If he’d give himself half a chance,” Dr. Wright grinned, “he might find he wants to become a doctor after all.”
    Leaning back in his chair, Justin just shook his head with a smile. It had been a slow morning at the hospital which had given Dr. Morgan plenty of time to wonder about Amy and time to talk with his father.
    Before anything else could be said, Philips burst into the office. “Dr. Morgan, Dr. Wright, we just got a call. There’s been a skying accident at the lodge and it sounds pretty bad. There could be half a dozen victims brought in!”
    Instantly Dr. Justin Morgan was on his feet fully alert and ready for action. “Wright, you’d better see that the operating teams are standing by. Philips, alert Dr. Hollend and Dr. Douglas. You’ll probably have to call Douglas as I think he’s already left. I’ll make sure Mr. Thatcher is ready for x-rays.”
    Dr. Wright was already out the door before Dr. Morgan had finished speaking and Philips hardly waited for the end before he too disappeared. Just before Dr. Morgan left his office, he remembered his father and turned. “Thanks for coming by, Dad. I’ll probably get up there in a day or two. Call me about anything. Sorry, I’ve got to rush.” He held out his hand.
    Mr. Morgan gave it a quick, firm grip and said, “We will, but don’t worry if we don’t call every day. Now get ready to help your next patients.”

    The rest of the day was a whirlwind of activity in the small town hospital. The skying accident had brought over a dozen injured persons to the hospital for treatment though several were only minor injuries and could be sent home after treatment. It wasn’t until late that night that Dr. Morgan found himself standing in the front lobby with Dr. Douglas.
    “We haven’t had this many patients brought in on one day the entire time the hospital's been open,” Dr. Douglas remarked, rubbing the back of his neck.”
    “That’s for sure. Well, I think Hollend and I can handle them for the night. You and Wright can head home. We’ll call you if you’re needed.”
    “If who’s needed?” Dr. Wright asked, sinking down into one of the chairs. He looked tired. Never before had he had to perform so many surgeries in an afternoon.
    Justin smiled. “I was just telling Douglas that you and he were going home for the night. Hollend and I’ll take over here.”
    “If you say so, I won’t argue,” Dr. Wright yawned.
    “Good,” Justin said, slapping his colleague lightly on the shoulder. “Then get your coat and get out of here. Both of you,” he added, looking over at Dr. Douglas who was standing in a daze before the door. He’d been on duty the night before and hadn’t had a chance to catch even forty winks before Philip’s call had brought him back to the hospital.

    As Dr. Morgan sat in his office having checked the patients and offered to take the first shift so Dr. Hollend could get some sleep, his mind went over each patient and their injuries. “Only one concussion,” he mussed, “but enough broken bones and internal injuries. And then there’s Lincoln Kern with that back injury. He may have to be transported to a larger, more special equipped hospital. I think I’ll call Dr. Stern in the morning.”
    The thought of the hospital’s consulting physician brought Amy back to his mind and again he wondered if her memory would ever come back. “I wonder if it’s a physical block that is causing her condition or a mental one. Could it be that there is something or perhaps more than one thing in her past which are so disturbing that her mind is blocking them? If that is the case, what is it going to take to remove that block?” For some time he sat unmoving, his brain busy analyzing every angle and detail that he could think of or remember about his interaction with the unknown girl.
    “Dr. Morgan?”
    Justin’s thoughts quickly returned and he sat up. “Yes?”
    One of the nurses was standing in the doorway. “Mrs. Brewer is in a lot of pain and very restless. Her temperature is up and her pulse is fast.”
    Dr. Morgan stood up at once. “I’ll come right now. How are the others? Do you know?”
    The nurse shook her head. “I haven’t heard anything, sir and I was on duty in the hall.”
    “All right.” He glanced down at his watch in the dim light of the stairs. “It’s about time I made my rounds anyway. I’ll first see to Mrs. Brewer.”

    Amy had retired that night with a feeling of . . . well, she couldn’t quite find a name for it. It was family, peace, security and love all mixed up somehow in the large house in the snow. As she lay awake under the blankets and the blue quilt, she stared through a crack in the curtains at the moon. “I wish I could stay here forever,” she thought. “At least, I think I do. Where did I come from and why can’t I remember anything? What was it Adam said? Fill an empty mind with good things?”

Any questions?

Any comments or ideas?

Graham Quartet - Part 32 +

A lovely good morning to all my Favorite Friday Fiction Fans!
I hope you all had a great week. I know I enjoyed a week at home with no conferences to get ready for or set up and no elections to sit through. :) I was able to actually get things done that have needed done for some time. One of which you all will probably be interested in. :)

Yesterday, it was with great delight that I realized that I had at last reached the end of "Triple Creek Ranch—Rustlers" Book 3 in the Triple Creek Ranch series! Now, this doesn't mean the book will be ready to purchase next week, it just means that the story is written. Now I have to made some corrections and changes in the last few parts (Mom thinks one part was dull), then I have to read the entire story and edit it. Next it gets divided into chapters (right now it's in 1,000 word parts) and then my test readers have to read it and my illustrator has to make the illustrations. Then I make all the corrections, add the illustrations to the layout, order my proof copy and then once that gets read and corrected, then I can approve it and make it available for sale. I'll be sure to keep you updated on the progress of this book. :)

Now, today is Good Friday, and Sunday is Easter and Tuesday is my birthday, so I wanted to do something special. Today I'm going to give you the last TWO parts of the Graham Quartet! Yep, you can now finish reading this story which has taken so long to get written and posted. I'd love to know what you think of the end.

Also, for my birthday, I'd love to have all my readers drop me a comment and tell me their name and what state they live in (or country). You don't have to tell me where in the state, but I like to know when I see that someone from California has been on my blog who it most likely was. :) Some of you I know already, but you can leave me a comment anyway since I love getting comments. ;)

And, as if that weren't enough, if you come back on my birthday, April 22, I'll have a special code to share with you all that will give you 31% off any of my books that are on this blog (except "An Everyday Photo Alphabet" since my friend published that). You can share the code with family and friends but it will only be good for that day and ordering from my blog. So be sure you stop by to get the code on the 22nd.

Are you now ready for the very last parts of

The Graham Quartet and the Mysterious Strangers

Part 32 

This story has been removed to publish it.

Thank you.

Well, what did you think?

Would you like to read another Graham Quartet story?

And one more thing; what would you like to read next Friday?

Dr. Morgan,

Travels of Tracy-Summer,

or

Part 1 in a 3 part story.

Let me know!

Graham Quartet - Part 31

Good Evening FFFs,
Well, I should say good morning, but I'm getting this ready to post Thursday night because the week has been so crazy that I'm afraid I'd forget tomorrow is Friday and wouldn't post and you wouldn't like that. Besides, we have to leave about 8:00 for the Springfield conference. Are any of my readers going to be there? If so, I'd love to get to say hi. Of course I probably won't be there most of the day as I'm going to spend several hours with some friends. But I will be there all day Saturday, so stop by Light of Faith and find Rebekah. :)

Like I said, this week was crazy.
Friday and Saturday of last week we were at the KC conference and packed up Saturday late afternoon.
Sunday we drove to my grandparents' house for a few hours to relax and eat lunch before heading for home.
Monday I tried to get all those things which pile up done, but didn't get much crossed off the list. I did write a little that night.
On Tuesday I was up at 4:00am, left the house at 5:00am, spent the day sitting at the polls as an election judge, didn't get home until 9:20pm and then got to bed just before 10:00. I was tired!
Wednesday was another trying-to-get-things-done day. I did get about 800 words of TCR-3 written.
Today was spent driving to and from Springfield and setting up the booth. I'm hoping to go write as soon as I finish this. 

I hope you enjoy this next part! Next Friday I may have a surprise for you. :) Hope you'll be back for it!

What is all this about?

Any ideas?

Will you be back next Friday?

Graham Quartet - Part 30

Good Morning FFFs!
Well, if you are wondering where this post was? It was delayed because I just now realized that today was Friday. :P Crazy I know, but life has been that way these past few days.

Don't have time to chat with you this morning as we have to go eat breakfast and then head over to the conference for our first homeschool conference of the year. So, if any of you Friday Fiction Fans are in KC and are going to the conference, stop by Light of Faith!

We did go to the zoo yesterday and had a wonderful time! We watched the polar bear swimming, the penguins, saw a mama kangaroo with a joey in her pouch and many other things.

Now enjoy this next part of

"The Graham Quartet and the Mysterious Strangers."

Part 30
