Hey, Winter!
Hey, Winter! You’re getting older every day. And less scary. (And less wonderful for skiers and snowmobilers. But that’s another story.) Yes, we noticed your awesome shaft of cold that greeted us the last week or so and took our breath away. We acknowledge that you are still king and still in charge. Still white …

The House At The End Of The Road — The Whole Story, Parts 1 Through 7
THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE ROAD By Florence Witkop PART 1 Moving in had been traumatic but also satisfying because at last we had a home. A real house, not like the series of rented apartments we’d lived in since I lost my job. ‘We’ being my son Caleb and me. I used …

The House At The End Of The Road — Part 4 of 7 Parts (Part 5 will be published later today.)
PART 4 We went up to the house and knocked and waited with bated breath to see who would answer. If they’d be carrying an axe. Or a shotgun. Surely, I kept thinking, if the worst happened our bodies would be found before they rotted past identification. No one answered. The white cat appeared in …

The House At The End Of The Road — Part 3 Of 7 Parts
PART 3 Caleb kept track of the days on the calendar on the wall. When Saturday rolled around, I found out why. “There’s no school on weekends, Mom. And no work, either.” He knew how to get what he wanted. Learned it from his mom so I couldn’t complain. “Do you have something that you …
