I just picked up my new glasses and I cannot believe how much detail there is in the world. I hadn’t realized what I was missing being lazy and using my old scratched up, foggy glasses for so long. I am always looking forward to the next moment of clarity where something clicks in my…Read more Wow, I can see!
Lilly Dog
So it has been a while since I have written about my little dog. She is still awesome but she had a bad habit of barking and shaking when we had house guests. After we got her to stop barking she’d stealthily run up and bite our guests’ ankles. Luckily we have forgiving friends and…Read more Lilly Dog
Stay on the Train
Adriana looked at all the other guests in the car and she said, “I’m so sorry” before she ran back into the coach car. She kept rushing through that one and right into a luggage car. There she hid in a pile of luggage for a very long time. Police and attendants came in and…Read more Stay on the Train
Back to the Woods
Adriana thought about it and Garret was right. She didn’t have to go. She didn’t need a brush with the cops when she knew there was treasure hidden in these woods. “Sorry, Garret.” Adriana said more to herself than to him. She turned back to the woods and started moving quickly toward the campsite. There…Read more Back to the Woods
Part Ways
“Well I have ambitions of being a treasure hunter.” Adriana confessed. “Really? How does one get into that business?” Garret asked. “I heard there might be something to find in Casterdale.

The best they could do was to hide her on the luggage car. She climbed in and hid in the corner among a large pile of suitcases. The train stopped in Fairville and Newton before Casterdale and each time Adriana prayed none of the luggage in the corner would be moved. Luckily, an attendant only…Read more Westward
Sitting and waiting
Adriana didn’t know exactly how she would get onto the next train but she could run fast and she could jump. She didn’t want anyone on the train to see her. So she found a soft, grassy spot surrounded by bushes where she wouldn’t be seen by the train and she waited. She heard talking…Read more Sitting and waiting
Casterdale
Adriana moved away from the camp until she could no longer hear even a murmur of voices. She looked around and the forest looked the same in every direction except for the little crushed path she’d made on her way in. She had left a trail of destruction for the purpose of not getting lost.…Read more Casterdale
Stealing from Thieves
Adriana was stealthy. She had practice sneaking in and out of the kitchen at the orphanage. She was never caught and the children always appreciated the little extra snacks she provided. She moved swiftly from tree to tree making a large enough circle around the camp to not attract any attention. Once she positioned herself…Read more Stealing from Thieves
Follow Them
Adriana, fearing the police, ran after the men. She saw them going into the next car as she waded through the narrow isle in coach. She opened the door into the luggage car and saw that the men had jumped out through an open door. She grabbed a nearby chest and placed it as…Read more Follow Them
