Weekly Contest #92
It was an old farmhouse that had been sitting empty for about 20 years. After a gruesome murder that took place there, the family moved away and tried to sell it, but everyone local knew the history, so it never sold. After awhile, the family just left it but, they had someone go out to the house weekly to check on it. It seemed that even the vandals knew what happened and they also stayed away. Most of the furnishings were left, all kitchen utensils; even most of the family pictures were left hanging on the walls. When the association for ...

Anne is one of many people who love reading. She would go into a bookstore to see if she would find a treasure or she would buy a book just for the title, or the front cover design, no matter what the back cover says. She was also an avid flea market attendee. If you were to ask her she would not be able to remember how many wonderful treasures she had acquired. So, when a friend told her that at the main library, they have a section where the books would be considered misfits; that they didn’t actually fit into a specific section, Anne dec...

If I had known; I could have left some of my garden to continue growing October 21: I finally got the garden all cleared of any remaining plants. I harvested the last of my Yukon Gold potatoes. Even with eating fresh potatoes during the season, I’ll have harvested enough to last at least until Christmas. Thank goodness I had no problems with any sort ...
Weekly Contest #88
Way, way down in the southern part of Gremlinland there are 4 gremlin boys discussing the fact that the sheriff has retired, and the mayor will be interviewing for a replacement. Noddy and his twin brother, Soddy, were playing in the tall grass behind the old post office with their friends, Esme, and the mayor’s son, Wassy. “Did you hear that the sheriff is retiring?” asks Soddy. “Has your father said anything?” questions Noddy. “Uh, huh,” answers Wassy as he continues with what he was doing. The others look at him, waiting for him to conti...
Weekly Contest #86
As Charles is out walking with his six year old grandson, Jerry, he asks him if he is excited about springtime. "What's springtime?" Jerry asks. Charles tells him it's when the days will get longer, which means it won't be dark so early, and it will be warmer. It may also mean that it won't snow anymore. But, that is only one way that means spring is coming. "What is another way?" Jerry asks. Charles stops, picks up Jerry and shows him a nearby tree. "See those small things on the end of this branch," he tell Jerry. "well, those are ...
