Wandering willows: creepy. Another fine episode. Liz. I love Berthe. She's got it together.

Thanks, K.C.! I love Berthe, too. Really, I love all the elders in this story. It’s fun to give them the hero/defender role. The elders in my life certainly filled that role, so this is for them.

So good Liz. You can't possibly make this story too long. It's very simple to me, you keep writing and I'll keep reading. Oh, and I have a new favorite line..."Drunk as a wheelbarrow" made me chuckle out loud when I read it and then again just now as I typed it.

So glad you’re liking it, Jim! I love “drunk as a wheelbarrow”, too. It’s a really old saying, not really used anymore, I guess. But it says it all, lol.

Oh yeah, I’ve heard it used before but then again, I’m older than dirt so there you go ;)

Ha! Nowhere near that old! Just steeped in great sayings. 😊

Wonderful story! Has the “local” flavor of aged whiskey and nitroglycerin: intoxicating and highly volatile.
