A Coffin to Lie On
Miranda Tollifson had an easy life after she married Minnesota farmer, Anselm Tollifson. Her husband put up with her imaginary ailments and even brought in a woman to do the housework for her. Her life was so good that other farmers’ wives in the area were jealous. They wouldn’t associate with Miranda unless it was unavoidable. Miranda didn’t care what they thought of her as long as her husband, Anselm, pampered her. All that changed. Right after the Civil War, Oregon land opened up for homesteading. There was a rush to go west and claim the free land before it was all gone. Anselm wanted to go, but he left it up to Miranda to decided if she was healthy enough to travel. She couldn’t disappoint this man that had been so good to her. She told him they could sell the farm and travel four long months over rough country to the Willamette Valley in Oregon in a wagon train. When Miranda said yes to the trip that made Anselm happy, but the decision was not what she wanted. There were so many reasons why she should have said no. Leaving her nice home and her elderly parents, her preference for her pampered lifestyle, fear of the unknown over thousands of miles, and the most important worry of all, she was pregnant for the first time in her twenty year marriage.
Christmas With Hover Hill
Elizabeth Winston grew up not caring about Christmas. This Christmas is going to be much worse than the holidays she and her brother, Scott, spent with her divorced parents. Her former boyfriend, Steven Mitchell, showed up to pester her about renewing their relationship now that his marriage has ended. Elizabeth always looks forward to sharing Christmas with her brother, Scott, but he says he has a business trip during Christmas. His present for her is an expensive and obnoxious robot man by the name of Hover Hill. Just her luck to be stuck with a mechanical man to share the holidays with. Elizabeth was fit to be tied when she figured out the robot was planted by Steven Mitchell to brainwash her into taking him back. Scott betrayed her when he helped Steven by saying the robot was his gift. She slipped out of town with the robot, leaving her old life behind and walked into a new set of problems. She wanted to hide out for six months, but that isn’t easy in a small town. Gossip about her flew faster than the rumors that came out of the Silver Dollar Tavern. Susie, at the Maidrite Diner, bragged she got a look at the handsome man that Elizabeth is shacking up with. The minster’s wife complained a local farmer, Bud Carter, hadn’t been to church for a month of Sundays. Holly, from the Antique Store, said the reason why is that Bud’s spending more time at the newcomer’s house than he is his place. The grocery store checker said Elizabeth acts like she’s hiding out from someone. If Steven comes looking, with all the attention Elizabeth is getting, all he has to do is ask and get directions from anyone in town to the old Carter house.
Grandma Robot
Author Karen Warwick was satisfied her move to the country was a good one when her parents decided to sell the century old Crane family farm house. She has more peace and quiet in the country than she’d realized was possible. That all changes when her scientist friend, Amy Brown, asks Karen to try out a robot maid as a favor to her to see if the robot was working well enough to sell on the market. Karen has regrets from the get go after she says yes. She takes home a young woman robot, named Henie, that acts like a teenager, and the next morning finds a senior citizen robot in her kitchen making bread and homemade chicken soup. Not only was there that unexpected transformation, Karen finds out from her mother that Henie was the nickname for Henrietta Crane, Karen’s great grandmother. If that wasn’t enough of a coincidence, Henie mentions facts about Crane family life on the farm and in Karen’s house that she shouldn’t have programed into her. Stunned yet drawn to Henie, Karen lets Grandma Robot stay while she tries to figure out just why Henie knows so much about her family.
Listen To Me Honey
Eighth grader, Amanda Craftton bent to peer pressure. She slipped away from school at lunch time with her friends. They went to the mall to get tattoos. Afterward, one of the friends invites the girls to go home with her to sample a beer. The time got away from them, making them late for math class. The teacher sent them to the principal’s office for a tardy slip. The principal smelled beer on the girls’ breath and suspended the girls from school for the last six weeks of the term. Amanda’s parents don’t seem to be able to make Amanda understand what she did was wrong. Her mother, Iris, decides to send Amanda south to Arkansas. She has to live with her grandparents on their farm for the summer in Pleasant Valley without many modern conveniences. Amanda’s parents hope the elderly couple’s no nonsense ways will teach Amanda a better path to follow. Living with her grandparents, Amanda certainly knows when she goofs, because Grandma Tansy is quick with a lecture that starts “Listen to me, Honey.”
My Children Are More Precious Than Gold
This 1903 story was inspired by stories told me by Veder Bishop Bright, my grandmother, who lived a tale very much like this one in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Riner, Virginia. In her words, the family was as poor as church mice, but so was everyone else on the ridges. This historical book looks at the Bishop family’s way of life.
The Blue Bonnet
Life wasn’t so bad for Bat Kayhill these days. Two years before, he’d moved from his Bar BK Ranch to live with his daughters in Dead Horse, Oklahoma after his wife died. Now he was tired of living in town. He missed ranch life and was ready to move back home, but he dreaded living in the house alone. The place was full of memories and the spirit of his wife, Hannah. It would be an awful lonely house without a wife. His sister, Billie, said there were plenty of single women in town. She suggested Bat start wife hunting. Bat took her up on the idea, but he wasn’t finding a woman that compared to his late wife. The idea came to him he should be prepared with a gift when he did find the right woman to ask to be his wife. He asked Miss Leta Mays at the Seamstress shop to make him a bonnet. The wife search was a slow process, but he had the help of Billie, lending her advice and cleaning up his ranch house. Miss Leta conferred with him over lunch, a supper and a picnic about how the bonnet should look. Since Bat didn’t know about such things as women’s bonnets he came to rely on Miss Leta’s help. Though, he couldn’t tell her or anyone else he had this crazy notion to buy a bonnet before he found the woman to be his wife. He really appreciated Miss Leta taking an interest in him and sewing The Blue Bonnet.
The Cowboy Girl Annie
Bag lady Cowboy Girl Annie knew life to be tough. She had adjusted to all her bad breaks years ago, because she always figured life was similar to a game of poker. She called what happened to her the luck of the draw and endured whatever bad luck came her way. It could be something as simple as the squeaky wheel on her shopping cart locking up before she’d made her rounds of the dumpsters. On the other hand, it might be something as deadly as getting the town’s meanest gangster, Big Ed, mad enough at her to kill her. When she found out there was a bounty on her head, Cowboy Girl Annie tried to remain calm about her predicament. She acted like she could handle her problem with Big Ed even when her special friend, Skinny Jake, blustered to Big Ed about how Annie and him were watching each other’s backs. Of course, Skinny Jake said that to Big Ed just before he suggested to Annie that they run as fast as they could in the opposite direction and find a place to hide.
