The New Buggy – Part 1
Read more journal entries in Andi’s Attic >> Andi’s Journal September 8, 1889 Errands in town are not my favorite way to spend a day (and believe me, it’s a full day!) But Riley was kind enough to hitch Ranger up to our buggy when he found out there were a few things I reallyContinue reading “The New Buggy – Part 1”
Earthquake!
Read more journal entries in Andi’s Attic >> Andi’s Journal March 1891 Somebody asked me if–living in California and all–I’ve ever experienced an earthquake. Let’s think about that a minute. California. Earthquake. Hmm . . . That would be a “yes,” I have. *scary* The picture at the top shows what Aunt Rebecca’s house lookedContinue reading “Earthquake!”
The Fresno Flood
Read more journal entries in Andi’s Attic >> Andi’s Journal February 1887 Just when I feel like complaining about the rain, rain, rain, I bite my tongue.

She was curious because Thick as Thieves mentions that Andi’s brother Justin and his fiancée, Lucy, are married in San Francisco after the book ends.

Trick Riding!
Read more journal entries in Andi’s Attic >> Andi’s Journal June 1885 It’s been quite some time since I caught up in my journal. Being kidnapped and held at an outlaw’s hidden camp for two or three weeks (without my journal) means I have to remember things and write them down later. One of theContinue reading “Trick Riding!”
No Fun at All!
Read more journal entries in Andi’s Attic >> January 10, 1888 Worse than the winter rain and mud and dampness and being cooped up in the house is Jared’s illness. He has his first cold. Of course, being a new mother, I panicked. He cries and cries. He rubs his ears and howls. He can’tContinue reading “No Fun at All!”
A Miserable Week
Read more journal entries in Andi’s Attic >> January 3, 1888 It’s raining cats and dogs outside. Memory Creek is flooding and tearing away the banks. It’s not as bad as that thunderstorm a few years ago, when I ended up in the creek and fighting to keep my head above water. That part ofContinue reading “A Miserable Week”
