I found this post from 2023 and thought you might like it! July 1887 I was resting with a brand-new baby Jared sleeping next to me. Mother was out in the kitchen, fussing around. I was bored and restless, so I scrounged through my stack of journals and started reading through the very first journalContinue reading “What Is Taffy Saying?”

A Sweet Surprise
Andi’s Journal, late August 1887 Riley never ceases to amaze and surprise me! It’s the last week of August, and the California sun has just about sucked every drop from Memory Creek. I am just happy we have a good, deep well and enough wind to keep it turning and bringing up water for theContinue reading “A Sweet Surprise”

Playing Catch Up!
It’s been a very, very long week, and since Mrs. M had no “back up” posts that could be posted automatically, I’m afraid I’ve about run out. However, all is not lost. For some of you, yes, it’s probably a ho-hum “been there done that” moment, but I took a few of the old Andi’sContinue reading “Playing Catch Up!”
Stagecoach Hold-ups
This was first posted back in 2011, not long after Family Secret was published. Andi had a lot to say about her wretched brother-in-law Troy Swanson and his robbing of stagecoaches (when he wasn’t swindling folks). Since then, however, much has changed. Andi has recently been involved in a stagecoach holdup of her own. WithContinue reading “Stagecoach Hold-ups”
A Visit from Cousin Sofia
A Writer for Andi Carter did not want any credit for her guest post, but I at least credited her name (and edited the journal entry to keep it consistent with other entries). But alas, no bio, so she will remain a mystery for now. That said, she penned an Andi’s Journal entry, and IContinue reading “A Visit from Cousin Sofia”
