💐💐Whispers of the Past-The murphy estate-The main house part 1 (151 Book Series)

Pulling up to the mansion, I saw Mr. Wheeler, the lawyer who was in charge of the estate. Parking my company moving truck, I walked up to him and said, "Mr. Wheeler, a pleasure to see you again. What kind of story does this estate have?"

He shook his head and said, "Massie, I wish I could say it was all puppies and rainbows. However, over the last three hundred years, the estate has been here; there have been over seven hundred deaths."

"Excuse me," I said.

He said, "Seven hundred and seventy-nine deaths to be exact."

"You want me to cross over seven hundred and seventy-nine spirits?" I asked.

He nodded and said, "That is correct, and your pay will be for all the items in the estate. The owner has left stacks of cash, jewelry, and valuables. All for you to take if you get the ghosts to cross over. You will report back to me the names of the spirits you cross over and when they are moved."

"You know that I can move and cross over a spirit," I said. "They can return or come back."

"We understand that," He said. "However, we will deal with that if we need to. You will be able to hopefully do an additional walkthrough on the buildings that are cleared before your finished with the job. Are we still looking at a one-year time frame?"

"I told you eighteen months," I said. "Especially now since there are seven hundred and seventy-nine ghosts."

He sighed in frustration as he said, "Fine, five hundred and fifty days. Where are you starting?"

"The main house," I said. "The house is calling me. I am hoping that I can cross the people over from there and not trap them."

"Well I will leave you to it," He said. "I am curious how you will get everything packed and move them over."

"Easy," I said. "I will start in the kitchen and speak to the ghosts as I work. Gather the garbage, pack the items, and move the items to the work truck. My timer starts tomorrow, and my assistant will be here later today to start helping me."

"Assistant?" He asked.

"Yes," I said. "Otherwise known as my husband. He will be here driving the truck to our store and pricing various pieces to get on the floor and put the rest in the storage room. He handles the items, and I handle both the items and the ghost."

"Understood," He said. "You will be staying in the buildings correct?"

"Incorrect," I said. "We will be staying in our sprinter van next to the building we are working on. We requested the power and utilities stay on until we are finished with the buildings, then each building can be shut off individually. Now Sam will be here in twenty minutes and we are going to get our groceries. We will use the water for our tank and that is it. I know in the barn there is a place to empty our dark water and waste. So is there anything else we will need?"

There was rumbling in the distance, and he said, "No. Take care, Massie."

I watched him leave and I went into the hosue and stood near the base of the stairs as I said, "Hello everyone my name is Massie. I know between all the rooms on the estate there are seven hundred and seventy nine of you. We need to have you move on because I will be able to see you and the people who inherited the estate want to turn this place into a resort. Believe me you do not want to be here. I have five hundred and fifty days to move you all on or they will bulldoze the buildings that are left. I will help you, I promise. I will listen to your story. But please understand they want you gone."

I heard shifting around me and the door to the house opened. Sam walked in and said, "Well, I saw shadows on the upper floors. We have a lot of work to do, don't we?"

As I saw a child run across the landing, I said, "Yeah, we do. But first lets go get our supplies."

He said, "I have the house if you're ready."

I nodded as he rolled in the cart and I said, "This is a stack of Spirit houses, if you do not want to go to the afterlife, we can move you to our own personal store. Some people buy the spirit houses and keep them as a way to honor the dead. There are your own personal rooms, you can make your own. The room's windows will light up when a spirit occupies it. This is a no-questions-asked way to leave, and Max will bring you to our store when he brings the truck full to our store. This stack of houses can hold up to thirty spirits with five spirits to a house. We will see you all in the morning. We do not work before five in the morning and after six in the evening."

I left the stack of spirit houses at the base of the stairs. When I reached the door, Sam touched my arm and nodded to the house, where we saw three windows light up. When we has shut and locked the door, he said, "I think I will be bringing many of the spirit houses back with me. Now, how many spirits are on the estate?"

"You will be shocked," I said. "Seven hundred and seventy-nine spirits."

"Are you serious?" He said. "Do you think that we will get it done in the next 550 days?"

"I think we will be able to get it all done before the deadline," I said. I closed my mind before I went in, except for seeing the children running on the landing."

He said, "Well, I guess the spirit boxes may fill fast. So let us go get some groceries and set ourselves up. I did see that there is a drain for black water and a hose for the clean water near the garden shed, next to the main house."

Walking into the sprinter van, I said, "I thank god we put in the larger apartment fridge and smaller kitchen cabinets." 

The back of the van held our bed that lifted to our electrical unit and our clothing. The cabinets along the back of the van held our toiletries and towels. Then our waterproof toilet and shower were in the same cubicle. Across from the shower was our stove, airfryer, sink and cabinets that hold our plates and non-perishables. Then there was a small cabinet behind the driver's seat that held our electronics, paper items, and snacks. At the bottom of the cabinet was a small camper washer we use in the bathroom

I lifted the bed to grab a sweatshirt and sat in the passenger's seat. Sam said, "So let us get to the grocery store, and I believe we are starting a new YouTube channel."

"Well, we will hopefully stay awake long enough to watch a show," I said.

We drove to a local publix and each of us grabbed a shopping cart to get the groceries we needed. We walked through the store starting with the non-perishables, and once that cart was full, Sam took out the items and placed them on our bed. As I continued to shop with the remaining non-perishables and started the deli for perishables. By the time Sam joined me I was starting on the frozen food section. We finished the shopping and loaded the perishables into the van. 

We drove back to the estate and parked next to where Sam could hook up the water and black water lines while I put everything away. Once he was finished, he took a shower while I finished putting away all the non-perishables. When he got out of the shower, he said, "How about I make some chicken patties for dinner while you're in the shower, and we have macaroni salad to go with it."

"That is a good idea," I said. "When you bring the first load to the store for Henry to price and sell, I think you should go up to the apartment and bring some of the groceries back that are up in our apartment. I would hate for the food in the fridge and freezer to go to waste."

He said, "That is a great idea. What about canned and packaged goods?"

"Baking stuff, bring it here." I said. "But I would suggest bringing what you know we can fit. We have a rice maker, crockpot, airfryer, and single-serve coffee maker. Now, before you lleave I will make a list of what we may need. You never know, there may be things here."

I took a shower, and when I came out, Max had dinner ready to go. When dinner was done, I prepped dinner for the crockpot for the next day. Sam asked, "BBQ chicken?"

"I figured it would be tasty," I said. "Besides, we are supposed to have rain tomorrow and the temperatures are supposed to start dipping."

"We get off for holidays correct?" he asked. 

"Yup," I said. "Oct 31st, Nov 20-28, Dec 23- Jan 2, Jan 16, Feb14, Mar 3-6, may 28-june 2, july 1-5, sept 3-7."

"Does the 550 Days include the days off?" He asked.

"No, it does not," I said. "We do have the option to work on t hose days, however, we are not required to."

We sat down and loaded the YouTube Channel Kara and Nate. We loaded up the first ten episodes of the series and sat on our bed eating our food. We were eating when we heard the first round of thunder. I said, "Man, we will need to turn the truck around in the morning."

Sam said, "Stay here."

Sam went outside and turned the truck around. I heard him open the back and place the ramp on the front porch. When he got back, he said, "I placed the ramp down on top of the rubber mat and placed the stabilizer legs down for it. We have 4 boxes of industrial garbage bags. and stacks of boxes ready to be filled on the left-hand side."

Day 550 Oct 2nd

He placed our laptop on the shelf, and we lay down to fall asleep. We fell asleep, and I woke up around three in the morning to use the bathroom, and saw the lights on the top floors on and shadows moving through the house."

I went back to sleep, and when our alarm woke us up at 730am I placed the pillow over my head and said, "I don't want to."

Sam laughed as he climbed out of bed and I felt the van was much cooler. Pulling on a long-sleeve shirt and a pair of leggings. Then I placed the crockpot on the counter to cook while we are working. Sam and I each poured some cereal and ate as I worked on the store website, promising to upload pictures of the work done on the first day of working on the estate. Sam opened the truck and handed me the sheets of cloth to lay on the furniture that Sam would move while I was packing and sorting items. That and talking to spirits to cross over. I unlocked the door and opened it. Looking at the stack of ghost houses, I saw all that all three houses were full.

Pulling out my phone, I called Mr. Wheeler via video call. He picked up and said, "Massie itis day one, do you have an update?"

"Good Morning Mr. Wheeler," I said. "I do indeed have an update. These are my ghost houses and we have three full spirit houses. We are moving our fifteen ghosts to my store. They will be packed into specialty boxes today and loaded into the moving truck, so we are down to 535 ghosts on the estate left."

He said, "Once they are in the house can they get out?"

"The ghosts make a choise to live in the houses," I said. "Typically they cannot leave."

"Good," He said. "Good luck."

Sam came in with all the boxes that would hold the ghost houses once he moved them to the store. We had multiple walls of the store filled with full ghost houses. We walked through the house, and I placed the towels on the furniture that Sam would load onto the truck while I started to sort. After I finished placing the towels, I grabbed a few boxes and a hand cart. I headed up to the attic, and Sam said, "I will go ahead and bring up the boxes from the truck, then start with the furniture and spirit houses."

Looking around, I saw piles of items all over the place and drawers and cabinets open. I said, "Hello, everyone, I am going to open my mind's eye and will be able to see you. I will be able to hear you. If you do not want to deal with me, there are ghost houses at the bottom of the stairs that you can choose to live in."

Sam texted and said, "Another window lit up. I hope we will have enough spirit houses till I come back from the store."

I replied, "Do me a favor and check in with Henry. Make sure he has the paperwork ready in an envelope. Also, let him know that you will go to the bank for the deposit every few days when you come back. The cash should be dropped into the safe."

He chuckled as he walked into the room and said, "Henry can handle it, Massie. You will have everything to keep the paperwork up to date."

I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I saw a couple near the windows overlooking the lawn. I said, "I can see you both my name in Massie, and I would love to know why you do not want to leave?"

The woman stepped forward and said, "We are afraid that we will never see each other again."

My heart hurt for a moment, and I asked, "What are your names?"

The gentleman came over and sat on a chair as he said, "I am Mitch, and this beautiful lady is my wife, Gilly."

As I sorted and either packed items or trash items, Mitch told us their story, "I met this Angel when I came home from the war. Gilly was a waitress in the speakeasy I frequented. When I asked her why she was working there--"

"I told him that I wouldn't have to work here if the factory let us gals keep our jobs," She said. "Mitch was very persistent and would come to the speakeasy every night to see me and ask me on a date. I finally said yes after a month."

""I knew I was in love the first time I saw her," Mitch said. "However, I did not want to push her. When we had been dating for three months I could not wait anymore and I asked her to marry me. I got a job with the owners of the estate's family, Mr. Murphy. He let us live in workers' building. I worked in the barns untl the day I passed."

Gilly said, "When Mitch passed, I worked as a seamstress repairing clothing and furniture and passed away a few months later." 

Mitch said, "I was standing by the lake when I heard a voice call out, I had to search most of the property before I could find you."

I smiled and said, "So you are afraid to cross over because you are afraid you will be separated? You know that the new owner is going to tear down any buildings that I cannot clear."

Mitch asked, "What about those houses?"

"They are one ghost per room," I said. "I cannot guarantee that you would be able to see each other in the houses."

"Can we decide what we want to do by the time you finish the attic?" Mitch asked.

"Sure thing," I said. "We may very well need to buy more if they decide to make this easy on us."

My alarm went off, and we went out to the sprinter van. As we walked past our work van, I saw that the truck was filling up nicely. I pulled out tortillas and made us some wraps for lunch. Sam said, "You know that we are keeping pace nicely." 

"How has moving furniture been going?" I asked.

"I got half the items moved along with the three filled ghost houses," he said. "When I get back I am going to take out the full garbage bags and garbage items you have and move the items you have sorted from the attic so far."

I worked on notes for the article I am going to write for Mitch and Gilly. As I made notes, I ate and jotted things down. Sam lay on the bed with his phone, and I asked, "Are you alright?"

He nodded and said, "Yeah, I am alright, the back is a bit sore. The cooler weather is bothering me a bit." 

"Can I get you anything to help you?" I asked.

"Nah," He said. "I need to remember to use the hand cart."

"Okay superman," I said. "Why don't you rest for a while and come back in when you're feeling better?"

I leaned over and gave him a kiss, "Love you."

Walking out the door, I went inside the main house, and I noticed another ghost house window was lit up. I went back upstairs and found Mitch and Gilly sitting on a chair, talking to each other. When they saw me, Mitch said, "We are glad you're here. We are going to take a leap of faith and cross over. We figure that if we do not go over together, we will find each other."

"How can I help?" I asked.

"Will you walk us to the lake?" Gilly asked. 

"Of course," I said. "Is there anyone else up here that you want to say goodbye to?"

Mitch said, "No one else is up here in the attic, Massie. Many of the main house ghosts are debating on going into the ghost houses. I know three children all went in for their own room and a place to stay."

Nodding I said, "I am adding more of the ghost houses in the stack later this afternoon," I said. "My husband was having some back pain, so I decided to come in here and work on my own for a while."

Mitch said, "Well, if you would like to walk us, I think we are ready."

We got to the back lawn and they both thanked me. Turning to the water, they started to walk to the shore slowly disappearing. I had a smile on my face as I went back into the van and wrote a few more inches on the notes. I grabbed three more ghost houses and stacked them by the stairs. I removed the next full ghot house and added it to the truck. I walked through the house and placed more of the towels on furniture that needed to be loaded.

Going up to the attic, I grabbed the garbage bags and the broken lamp down to the dumpster. Then I came up for the boxes I had ready. The last pile was six chairs that were sorted. Looking at my watch, I saw we had a few more hours, so I went back to work in the attic. I stacked the items and at 5pm I heard, "I fell asleep, babe, you should have woke me up."

"I know babe," I said. "But you were snoring your pain snore."

"You seemed to get a lot sorted." He asked, "What do you need me to do before the alarm goes off?"

I pointed at the stack next to the door. I said, "The pile on the left is for the store the pile on the right, next to the garbage bags, is for the dumpster. I had found a large amount of molded items."

"Were you alright with the mold?" He asked. "No allergic reactions?"

"No I am okay," I said.

"Alright," He said. "Let me get everything up here moved. Why don't you head down to the formal living room and pack some of the decorations until I am done with them? I will make the baked potatoes to go with dinner while you sit and write."

"Deal if you make it the kitchen," I said. 

I went into the kitchen and opened all the cabinets and drawers. Grabbing a box, I started packing up the first drawer, tossing the garbage into a Walmart bag. Sam came and found me when I was closing the next drawer. I took the bag and brought it outside to the dumpster. Sam shut the door to the truck and I locked the house door.

We went to the van and I sat down writing an article about Mitch and Gilly on the store website. When I finished the article and hit publish, I stood up and took a shower. Getting dressed, I climbed onto the bed and saw that Sam had transferred the chicken to a dish, washed the crockpot container, and was making our baked potatoes.

I fell asleep while we were eating dinner. I woke up around three to use the bathroom and I saw many lights on all over the property. I hoped that the ghosts realized that you will be removed one way or another. Lying back down I fell into a deep sleep again.

🐕🐕The Coven (101 Books)

 I am part of one of the oldest covens in the world. Some of our families are descendents of witches from Salem. Yes that part. So basically the witch trials were a way to punish people and take land. They were a little off on who was an actual witch. But our families got the hell out of dodge as soon as they could. Come follow me to see what happens in our world. 

CHapter 1

My alarm went off, and I went to throw the alarm clock across the room when my husband grabbed it and kissed my cheek as he said, "Come on, Maddie, you have to get up and work on your store."

"Max I do not want to leave this bed," I said moaning and curled up around him. 

He chuckled and said, "Mads I have to leave for work after breakfast. Come on I will make you tea."

"But baby," I said. "I want to stay in here with you."

He climbed out of bed and said, "I will be back with your tea."

I threw the blanket off of me and went into the bathroom to start my day. I pulled on yoga pants and a tank top. As I slipped on a pair of flip flops, Max came in and handed me a cup of tea. He asked, "What is your plan today?"

"I have to cut back all my herb plants in the greenhouse," I said. "Then they will go into the dehydrators. I have jams that need to be made with all the fruits I have in the fridge, located in the greenhouse. Vegetables to can or pickle. I also have a greenhouse full of produce that needs to be harvested, canned, pickled freeze dry or dehydrated. Also need to harvest honey and beeswax. But first, I have to go pick up my jam and honey jars from the store, my new display jars from the glass makers, and bags for all the dehydrated and freeze-dried foods."

"Have you checked to see how much light hits your store window?" Max asked.

"I did," I said. "When you made the overhang over the order window, it blocks all the excess light so my display window in my greenhouse is perfectly shaded."

He picked up his bag and said, "I see you will be having a very busy week. You know if you need help, I will be glad to help after work."

Kissing his cheek I said, "I may take you up on it. With October next month, things will be super busy with Halloween around the corner."

Max left and I went to the kitchen started dinner in the crock pot. I emptied a bag of Thanksgiving in a ball to the crockpot with a mix of gravy.  You may ask, Maddie what do you do for a living? Well that is easy. I am a kitchen witch and run a store out of my greenhouse. My home is a three-bedroom home and I have a 1 acre greenhouse attached to my main house. I have three windows of items for sale and a vintage 1940's vending machine where they put the money in a window and can purchase items without me being open. I also have a change machine attached to my greenhouse so people can use the vending machine. 

I placed a sign on the window that said, Open later this afternoon, please use the vending machine until I return. I made sure the vending machine was full  with new items and checked to see how full my overstock was. I saw that my shelves were light with stock from yesterdays sales. I saw the stock in my storage bins and decided I would wait to fill the shelves until I got back. Then I could rotate the shelf items to the vending machine.

As I joke with Max, organization is key. Grabbing my cash out of my office safe, I picked up my purse and headed to the glass maker. I sold dehydrated and freeze-dried herbs and vegetables by weight, and I ordered new display jars for the windows. Then I went to pick up the mason jars for all my new canned items. When I got to the counter the worker asked, "Do you have a vehicle big enough for the items?"

I pointed to my truck with the covered cab, and I led the way, and they loaded all the mason jars into the back. When I mentioned I should have ordered more, the worker said they had more and asked if I wanted to buy more.I decded to buy another thousand jars, and they filled my truck halfway. I went to the store to pick up my packaging and stickers with my business name, "Maddies Enchanted Wonders"

When I was done, I went to a few local farmers and picked up, bones to make beef and chicken bone broth, extra fruit, assorted vegetables, a metric ton of onions, cucumbers, peppers, spicy peppers, watermelon, beeswax, tomatoes, garlic, lemon, limes, orange, grapefruit. one of my local witches sold me her over stock to make smudges for protection, money, love, peace. Then I picked up the lotion base to make peppermint lotion, lemon lotion, coconut lotion, lime lotion and lotions that help with arthritis, migraines, exzema and stress. Then if things could not be anymore busy I picked up all the items to make tea, seasonal, peppermint, Halloween tea, floral tea, lemon, orange, herbal and mint tea.

When I got home Max was there and when I opened the back of the trck he said, "I figured you would need help bringing it all in. Where do you want it?"

"Please place everything on the long table," I said. "As soon as I grab myself a drink and check dinner, I will get to work."

Stirring the crock pot, I went out to the greenhouse and added the shelved items to the vending machine. After I placed everything from back stock into the shelves, I clicked on the open sign and went to the table to start processing what was on the table.

I took out my roaster pans and started adding bones to them to make bone broth. After I started the bone broth, I grabbed the three cases of onions and started to work on making dehydrated onions, onion jam, pickled onions, and onion powder. As I worked on the onions, I would help customers who came to the window to purchase window items. 

By the time I closed the shop, I had all the onions prepped for the followig day and placed in air-free bags to keep them fresh till the following day. Then I strained the bone broth and started to add it to mason jars to can in assorted sizes. Waste not want not I placed the bones in a bowl in the fridge to grind up after they are roasted tomorrow.

By the time Max came home from work I had all the jars from the first batch of bone broth on the cooling and drying mats. I made sure all the produce that needed to be refrigerated was in the fridge along with all the bone broth bones that needed to be roasted and boiled. He found me in the kitchen making mashed potatoes to go with dinner.

I have to cut back all my herb plants in the greenhouse,they will go into the dehydrators (mint, bayleafs, parsely, chives,cilantro tea, thyme, dill, oregqno. I have jams that need to be made with all the fruits I have in the fridge (strawberrys, apples. lemons, limes blueberry, raspberry watermelon), pickles from vegetabls(onions)carrots, beets, eggs, greenbeans, garlic, peppers) I also have a greenhouse full of produce that needs to be harvested, canned, pickled, and dehydrated.(carrots, onions, potatos, zuchinni, squash, pumpkin, sweet peppers, three colored peppers, seranos, jalapenos, peas, cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli,tomatoe, cucumbers, leeks, habenero lmon, lime oranges  Also need to harvest honey and beeswax to make candles and salves.

When I was done, I went to a few local farmers and picked up, bones to make beef and chicken bone broth, extra fruitstrawberrys, apples. lemons, limes blueberry, raspberry watermelon, assorted vegetables, a metric ton of onions, cucumbers, peppers, spicy peppers, watermelon, beeswax, tomatoes, garlic, lemon, limes, orange, grapefruit. one of my local witches sold me her over stock to make smudges for protection, money, love, peace.

🐕🐕The World Around Me (101 books)

I live in a legitimately crazy small town, and the people here are insane. We live in a small town in Northern Maine, and in all honesty, I sometimes think there are reasons we are in the middle of nowhere. 

Chapter 1

I woke up and ran to the bathroom. After I finished using the bathroom, I waddled to the kitchen and put on a pot of tea. Looking down at my bulging belly, I groaned and said, "Well, little one, I think you're trying to get me to pee myself. If you would be so kind, I would like to not pee my bed."

The baby caused a string of flutters as it moved. As my tea steeped, I went into my room and dressed for my day. I looked into the mirror and thought about what brought me to this moment. My ex-fiancé and I had been together for five years. When I became pregnant, he decided he could not be in a relationship anymore and went to live in his grandpa's fishing cabin. I knew where he was and that he was dating people in town. Life went on, and I prepared to be a single mom.

I took my tea out to my patio and sat on the porch swing. I was off today and needed to get errands and cleaning done before my work week started. I rubbed my belly and said, "Okay, kid, we are going to meet your Aunt Sarah at the diner and get some food before we go shopping."

Driving my car to the diner, I met my best friend, Sarah, who already had juice and tea waiting for me. She stood up and called out, "Damn Molly, you are one fine ass pregnant woman. If I liked chicks, I would make you mine."

Everyone chuckled, and when I sat down, I said, "Sarah, if I didn't like dick, I would take you up on it."

She nodded to the counter and said, "His brother is here, and he was on the phone with him earlier."

Sighing, I said, "His family agreed with him breaking up with me. If he had a financial obligation, then he couldn't give them money when they wanted it." 

"That is insane," She said. "What are you going to do?" 

"I will be working at the office until I am thirty weeks," I said. "Then I will work from home until the baby is born. After six weeks of maternity leave, I will do half-time at work using my vacation and PTO. Then at the twelve-week mark, I will be working full-time from home."

"How did you arrange that?" She asked.

"Easy," I said. "I am damn good at working in customer service and tasks. I think the company wants to have more people working from home. Then they can have a smaller office."

She laughed and said, "Well then, great job!"

Missy, the head waitress, came over and said, "Molly, Sarah is right, if I liked women I would chase you as well."

Chuckling, I said, "Missy, there is a problem with your theory."

She asked, "What is that, Molly?"

"You are happily in love with that sweetheart of a husband," I said. "So I know you would not be chasing me."

She let out a hearty laugh and said, "True. So what would you like?"

"I would like a Belgian waffle," I started. "Two eggs, firm scramble, breakfast potatoes, 5 slices of crispy bacon, Wheat toast, and a fruit cup."

The baby started to kick when I listed the food, and Sarah said, "Oh my sweet niece, you like a good meal."

Sarah ordered a duplicate meal with a few changes, and Missy said, "Well, ladies, I will have this out for you shortly."

As we sat talking about how things have been, the door to the diner opened, and Gabriel came in and sat next to his brother. I turned my chair so I would not have to look at him. I felt his eyes on my back and a few minutes later I heard, "Molly can I have a word with you?"

Looking up Gabriel was standing over me and I said, "What do you need I would rather like to eat my meal without indigestion."

"Can we speak in private?" He asked.

"No," I said. "You told everyone I was a bitch and that was why you left me. You gave up five years and started dating anyone who would open their legs. But guess what, I do not care, when the baby is born, you will be paying child support, and since you spend all your free time drinking and whoring aroud you will only get supervised visitation."

"I will not be paying child support," He said. "Yo cannot force me to."

"That is where you are wrong," I said. "You already did the blood test and have proven your Charlies father. If you do not pay support you will not be happy with the consequences. I mean the town has started putting people in jail after 6 missed payments."

He bent down to look me in the eyes and said, "You will not like what is going to happen."

"God you reek of whisky," I said. "Get away from me before you make me physically ill."

"Gabriel," A voice warned from the door. "Get away from Maddie and go sit with your brother or leave."

Looking past Gariel I said, "Thank you Sheriff Riddle."

Gabriel walked over to his brother and sat down. Sarah asked, "Are you alright?"

"Shr is better than him," Sheriff Riddle said. "She will have a village help her with this baby instead of the town drunk and his troublemaker family."

Sarah asked, "Sheriff, would you like to join us?"

"As much as I want to say yes," He said. "I am meeting Molly later today and she promised me a large lunch."

"Tell Molly we miss seeing her," I said. "We will see her at the baby shower."

Missy came over with our food and Sarah said, "Thank you Missy."

I smiled and started placing butter on my Belgian waffle along with syrup. I dug in and started to eat. Missy laughed and said, "Girl, how are you staying so hot eating so much?"

"Easy," I said. "I am growing this baby amd stopped stress eating now that the trash took itself out."

🐕🐕The Hospital- Next Steps (Multi book series

 I layed in ed thinking about a releationship with Simon.

I set up a larger playlist and hit play. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up Ella said, "Good Morning!"

I asked, "Ella can you show yourself or do you need to be hidden?"

I saw a flicker in the corner of the room and smiled. I heard, "I never tried to be honest. I would like to show myself to Ella."

"In due time," I said. "I would like to mention you to Ella today once I am back from hiring workers. Do I have your permission to do that?"

"Yes," She said. "Tell her no pressure, though. I want her to be comfortable with me."

Nodding I said, "Understood. Don't worry I will be very empathetic and let her know its when she is comfortable and ready."

I got in my car and drove to the front gate. Simon was talking with Mason. When he saw me, he gave me a bright smile and walked over to my window. He said, "Hey Franny. Are you heading down to town?"

"I sure am," I said. "Do you want anything from town?"

"No," He said. "I think we should be good for now with supplies. One of the things I am doing is tracking things as we go. We are stacking the bricks from the buildings up front, I am hoping to use them as a pathway eventually, so we shall see. Be safe on the road."

"I will," I said. Driving into town, I passed Charlie, Walt and Shawn as they headed to the hospital. Getting to the store I saw about ten workers. Pete was one of them.

Getting out of my car I said, "Good morning everyone! I am glad to see you all here. If you are ready please line up and fill out your info and you can head up to the hospital."

They all lined up and signed the form. When Pete came up to me he said, "I am gonna give you a chance Miss Franny. I am sorry that I have been a dick we have been screwed over before."

"Pete," I said. "We are only as good as our word. I promise you that you work you get paid. If you work hard enough you may just get that invitation to come there instead of waiting for the invite."

He nodded and put his hand out. He said, "Franny I am glad you feel that way. I like you. You are smart and you keep your word. I will see you up there."

He left and as I was ready to leave I heard a woman call out, "Franny wait. Is it only men your hiring?"

Turning back I saw a older woman coming towards me with a back pack. I looked up and said, "Not at all I have a invite already to a younger woman. Did you want to join us?"

"She nodded and said, "I do. However, I cannot lift a lot. My husband has taken ill and he cannot work for a while. Do you happen to have some work for me?"

I asked, "How do you feel about working alone?"

She said, "Are you asking me if I mind working in a potentially haunted building?"

"Yes," I said. 

"I will be their worst nightmare if they scare me," She laughed. "But I have no problem working by myself. I just have to get a ride up and I can call my son to get me later."

"Pointing to the car I said, "You can ride up with me. Just sign the paper I have to get somestuff from the supply store. What did you do previously for a job?"

She signed the form and said, "I did filing for the lumber mill until I was laid off. My husband does road work, however, he was diagnosed with cancer and my son is going to take him to treatments."

"I am sorry about your husband," I said. "Lets go into get supplies and I will explain what your going to do."

We went into the store and I bought them out of permanent markers and all the gallon ziplock bags they had. I also grabbed walkie-talkies and we checked out and went to the car. On the way up I said, "Your job is going to be a bit different then most. But it will hopefully help your back and you are gonna get me ahead on a project that will be coming soon. You are going to be in the library all day, bagging books and sweeping up the trash in the areas."

"Are you sure it is not pitty work?" She asked.

"Not at all," I said. "There are thirty rooms in the medical library. There are books, records and items in all the rooms. The books are going to be going for $200 a piece. Records are going to be going for $50 a piece. I have a wagon that you can fill and bring to the relic store. The medical library is close enough to the front, I am thinking this is going to be a good building to work on when the weather starts to get rainy. But we need to clear and clean before we can start any work."

She smiled and said, "Thank you, I appreciate all the work I can get."

"Well, lets see how you so today," I said. "If you do great I will give you a invite."

Sharon looked very happy with that information. When we got to the hospital she whisteled and said, "I forgot how big this place was."

Simon came over and I asked, "Did everyone get assigned?"

He nodded and said, "All but Sharon. Did you have a special job for her?"

"I sure do," I said. "Do you have that pull cart?"

He went into the shed and brought it out. I loaded the supplies along with the broom and trash bags. Smiling I said, "Follow me, you two."

As we walked I asked, "Simon do you know any roofing companies?"

Both Simon and Sharon said, "Martin Smith."

Laughing I asked, "Simon can you call him and have him come out to get us a estimate for the medical library? I think on days when the weather gets bad we can start inside the buildings. Sharon needs some work but has a bad back so she is gonna be our go to girl and start the first book room to get things priced and in the relic store. Then she will get the garbage out and ready for us to start working on rooms."

"What a great idea," He said. "I will call Martin and have him come up for an estimate."

When we got to the building I said to Sharon, "Will you be able to get the cart up and down the ramp?"

She looked and said, "Sure can. Show me the room."

As we went in I said, "I did here footsteps and see shadows when I came in here. But you are going to be fine."

She nodded and called out, "Whoever is here, I am going to be working in a room. Please be respectful of me and I will be respectful to you."

Leading her to the first book room I showed her all the book shelves and teh boxes of files. Pointing to the table and chairs I said, "Sit if you need to and when you fill the cart bring it to the relic store. There are shelves to the back of the store. The books and files need to be placed there with the prices we talked about."

She nodded and said, "Perfect. I have my lunch here."

"You can join Ella and I for lunch if you want. We will come by at lunch time." I said. "We are a work family."

She walked to the first shelving unit and took the broom sweeping off the dust and dirt. She looked up and said, "If there are any books that cannot be salvaged I will add them to the empty crate there for you to go over. That way nothing is thrown out unless you say so. But it looks like these are all good except for the dust."

"We will let you get to it," I said.

Simon and I walked out and headed towards the front. He said, "Sharon is a wonderful woman. It is a shame about Stan though. He is a tough man and for her to have to work again it is serious."

"I will keep her on then after today," I said. "As long as she works hard I have no issue keeping on the harder working people."

We parted ways at the store, and I headed to the cottage. I set up the walkies to charge and called out for Ella. She popped her head in and said, "Good Morning Franny. I have most of the China cabinet emptied. But you have to see what I found, you are going to love this."

She showed me the hidden drawers in the china cabinet and I said, "Oh wow. I was thinking if we were going to keep this and I think we are. I guess we are ready to start the primer."

We got to work in the laundry room. By lunch time we had primed the laundry room two times. We headed to the library and called out for Sharon. She popped her head out and said, "Hey Franny and Ella. I am ready for lunch, but first come see what I got done."

Walking into the book room I saw she had cleared all the files from the main table. I saw she swept the floor and she found an old fashion duster to dust the books. Looking at her I said, "Wow Sharon this is amazing. What a great job. How is your back?"

She laughed and said, "My back is great. I have been sitting at the table after I move a few stacks of books. The duster was in a file box so it has helped a lot. So far I have moved three carts of books to the relic building and I made sure the price is able to be read and it's printed large."

"Well lets go to my RV and eat," I said. "This is great work and Sharon you have an invite back. The library is now officially your baby."

"Really," She said. "Thank you. I cannot wait to see the other rooms."

We headed to my RV and ate our lunch. When we got inside I heard the videos going and saw the dip in the bed. While I ate I said, "Ella you know about your Grandma passing. What if I was to tell you that her spirit is here."

Ella looked up and said, "She is a ghost?"

Nodding I said, "Yes. She has seen you and would like to talk to you when you are ready. There is no pressure, however, she would like to get to know you when you are ready."

She smiled and said, "Is she here now?"

"Yes," I said. "She likes to watch travel shows so I leave them on for her while we ar working."

She said, "Hi Grandma. I am sad that you could not move on. My mom passed two years ago from a car accident. Grandpa told her all about you and he never remarried. He is still alive and all he talks about is his Ella. Know that he raised Mama in your memory and he talks about you often."

The blinds opened and closed again. I said, "She can move the blinds and she is trying to show herself and be heard without the spirit box."

Ella smiled and said, "When your ready Grandma. I am here on the weekdays for work and you can visit and watch me anytime you want."

The door opened and closed. I said, "I believe she is going to watch us work after lunch."

Sharon took Ellas hand and said, "You are a very lucky girl to have her watch over you."

We all talked during lunch and we walked Sharon back to the library. I handed her a walkie and said, "Use this is you need us."

She walked back in and we walked back to the cottage. When we got back we found the living room was searched. I pushed Ella back outside and said, "Let us find Simon."

We found all the guys eating lunch by the relic building. Simon saw the look on our faces and asked, "Whats wrong Franny?"

"Did anyone go to the cottage?" I asked.

"No we have been together all day," He said. "What happened?"

"The living room was tidy when we left for lunch," I said. "We were gone around an hour because we checked on Sharon and went to eat lunch. The living room was searched hard while we were gone. We did not go inside when we saw it."

The guys stood up and Simon said, "Let me go search the building. You ladies stay outside until we are done."

Sharon called out on the radio. "Hey are any of you in the library. I am hearing a lot of movement upstairs."

Simon took the walkie, "Sharon get out now. We are sending a few guys to search the building now."

Pete said, "We will go search the library."

A few men left with him and Simon and the rest of the guys headed to the cottage. Pete called over the walkie and said, "Boss man we are hearing the movement but have not found anyone yet. It looks like someone jimmied the back entrance."

Simon said, "Okay give me a few we are gonna come there as we have not found anyone in the cottage."

We headed back to the library and I pulled Simon aside. "I do not want to leave Sharon alone. Can we have one or two workers start weeding around the building to keep an eye out for her?"

He nodded and said, "I was thinking the same thing."

Turning to the guys he said, "Listen I think we may have snoopers and we are gonna have a meeting after you all leave today. Sharon the building is clear do you feel okay going back in and working?"

She nodded and said, "Sure. I am good to work I thought it was weird I heard nothing until we got back from lunch."

He said, "Okay then go back in and start back to what you were doing. We are gonna shift our work around. I need two people stay here and work on the outside of the building."

Pete said, "I will stay here and work Simon. I do not want to leave Sharon alone knowing Stan is sick."

Charlie said, "Same sir. What would you like us to do?"

"There are a lot of loose bricks around the building," He said. "Let us gather them and start taking down these weeds that surround the building. When you're done if there is still time then we will start cutting down the low-hanging branches and adding the wood to the wood bin near the cottage. But one of you stays here at all times so you can take turns. Pete, go get the cart so you guys can drive the bricks and branches. Weeds can be brought up to the compost bins we built today and dropped in there for when we start the gardens."

Sharon went inside and Pete went to get weedwackers, a saw, and the cart to go back and forth. Simon walked Ella and I back to the cottage and said, "We did not find anything but a hand print on the china cabinet and it was a mans handprint. I am going to be near here and keep a walkie on you in case you hear anything."

Ella and I went inside the building. She said, "I guess whatever is here wanted to make its presence known."

We started to paint the laundry room. We finished the first coat and went to the dining room to sort and price. By the end of the day we had gotten two coats on the laundry room. We also bagged and priced the items from the China cabinet. I used the walkie and said, "Its that time everyone. Lets start wrapping it up."

Sharon called through the walkie, "Ella you think I can get a ride to town?"

She nodded and replied through the walkie, "Sure thing Sharon."

We cleaned up and I sent Ella's pay to her cash app. Sharon brought the books she had to the relic building and she said, "You can send my pay to my cash app as well. Also I went through a third of the bags so you may want to buy more bags soon."

I pulled up my phone and placed a online order. I order a hundred cases from Sams club. Smiling I said, "They will be here tomorrow afternoon."

After they left I paid the guys and when they left Simon joined me in the relic building. He said, "I pulled Pete aside and he is going to be coming back by invite. He is a great worker and deserves the chance."

"I invited Sharon back as well," I said. "When she was leaving with Ella, Ella was offering her rides when she needed it. We are getting a good crew."

He looked at all the books and items we brought over he said, "Sharon worked hard today and organized this so well."

"That is one of the reasons I am keeping her," I said. "That and I remember when Grandpa was ill. If this helps her and her husband I am happy to keep her working."

He said, "So the mysterious intruders."

"Yeah," I said. "I think we need to keep workers near her. I am thinking that it may have been unseen residents." 

He nodded and said, "I agree. So what are you doing for dinner?"

Laughing I said, "The last of the leftovers. Want to join me?"

He said, "Sure let me run and shower first. Give me about thirty minutes."

"Same," I said.

We headed to our homes and when I got out of the shower I had enough time to put on Pjs before he knocked at my door. I pulled out the leftovers as he pulled the plates and I said, "So what are you going to do at the medical building?"

"Well we have the estimate for the rood tomorrow," He said. "I am going to have the guys continue maintaining that area and we are going to do forms around the building to create flower beds and walking paths."

"Well," I said. "When sharon gets here I am gonna have her continue on. Ella is gonna clean out the cabinets in the kitchen until I get back. We also have a Sams Club order with 100 cases of gallon ziplock bags for the library. We can bring the order to the library when it gets here. Except for two cases for the cottage."

We spent the rest of night talking about random things while we ate. When it got a bit late Simon took my hand and thanked me for dinner. He kissed my hand and went home. I laid in bed setting up a play list for Ella and slowly fell asleep.

I must have been sleeping when my phone rang. It was Simon and he said, "Franny I called the police there are lights coming from the library. Stay inside until I call you."

The spirit box shifted and I put it on. Her voice whispered, "It's an older woman and a young man."

I asked, "Human?"

"Yes," She said. "I think they are looking for treasure. Shall I look?"

"I do not want you to get hurt," I said.

"I am a ghost," She said and I heard the door shut.

I calle dSimon and when he answered he said, "I felt a rush of air and the door shut in front of me."

"Go to the gate and let the police in there are two of them,"I said. "Ella is watching them."

"They are locked in an upstairs room," She said. "Carl is not happy they tried to steal from his library."

"Carl," I asked.

"He is the librarian," She said. "He is happy the books will go to a good home."

Simon came up to the RV with two officers and I said, "The spirit of the library locked them in an upstairs room."

The officer chuckled and said, "Carl at it again? He was my granddad's poker buddy."

We walked towards the library and saw four officers walking out an older woman and a younger man. I looked over the woman and said, "Aunt Flo?"

"I deserved this place Franny," She huffed.

"So you decided to try to steal from me?" I asked.

"Well my son decided to work for you instead of getting what was rightfully ours," She said. "Where is the treasure? Where did you hide it?"

This land is the treasure," I said. "what did you take?"

She laughed and said, "There is nothing worth taking here."

The young man with her said, "Jewerly and some documents that are in the trunk of the car. A few nicknacks from the house as well and silver from the kitchen. I am sorry miss she was blackmailing me to come with her."

Looking at the officers I asked, "Will you need to keep the items till the trial is over?"

Aunt Flo asked, "Why would there be a trial?"

"Because I am pressing charges on you," I said. Turning to the young man I asked, "How did you meet Flo?"

I live in town maam and she saw me breaking into a car," He said. "I should have just gone to jail."

🐕🐕Inheritence- Now there are three (multibook series)

 I woke up to hearing Chloe coo in her room. Getting up I used the bathroom and went into Chloes room picking her up. As I changed her and got her ready for the day I asked, "Are you ready for our outing to the farmers market."

She cooed more as I went to sit on the couch I unlocked the door. Sitting on the couch I fed Chloe and after thirty minutes Sarah came in ready for our adventure. She said, "It is beautiful outside. I have my bags ready to buy stuff as I will be here every night. Let us get this party started."

She put her arms out for Chloe and I went to get myself ready. When I was dressed we put Chloe in her stroller and we passed Mr. Klaus and a helper bringing things to his apartment. He said, "I have a helper today so we will be back and forth. I am sorry my dear everything may be back to your door by the time I am done today."

"Your fine Mr. Klaus," I said. "We will be back soon.  If you cn find room upstairs I would appreciate it as well. Please remember to lock the door when you're done."

He nodded and said, "Of course, Maggie. Have to keep everyone safe. You girls have enough drama. Do you want me to hire security."

Sarah said, "Nah, we got this. That and I am concealed carry anyway. Speaking of Maggie, I think we should get you to the range one day and have you take a test so you can get your's. I do not trust that ex of yours nor mine."

Mr. Klaus looked thoughtful and said, "Well Maggie I taught my wife to shoot and I would be honored to teach you as well. Better safe than sorry."

"I will think about it," I said. "But first things first lets go check out this farmers market."

Sarah and I walked to the park and Sarah said, "Wow look at all these stalls."

As we neared Vera and Marv's coffee stand we heard them call out to us. I gave them a big smile and said, "Look Chloe its Vera and Marv."

Vera came out and said, "This must be Sarah. It is wonderful to meet you."

Sarah said, "It is wonderful to meet you as well. This farmers market is hopping today."

Marv came out and said, "We are so happy it is. We want to keep it every weekend going through the summer into the cooler months. The vendors need a good spot and this would help the community as a whole. Can I tempt you girls into trying a new drink we are offering? Its a iced cocoa."

We both smiled and said, "Yes please."

He came back a few minutes later and when Sarah went to pay he said, "On us today ladies. Let me know what you think."

Taking a sip I said, "Oh that is wonderful."

I asked, "Is that cocoa ice cubes?"

Vera laughed and said, "That is why its limitd quantities as we make a batch of the cocoa ice cubes each day."

Sarah said, "Well i think its a keeper."

When a line started to form Vera said, "Enjoy your shopping today girls I better get back to Marv before it gets crazy."

For the next few hours, we shopped at all the vendors. We laughed, joked, and had a wonderful day. We decided to have a late lunch at the end of the trip to the farmers market. We sat at the back of the outdoor cafe and pulled Chloe into my lap. Pulling out my cover I started to nurse her. Before we ordered the waitress came over and placed a glass of ice water in front of me. She said, "Its warm out and you need to stay hydrated to feed your little one. One for the favorite Auntie as well."

Chloe ate as we ordered and Sarah's phone rang. She said, "It's Mike. Time to shine."

She answered the call and said, "Mike, how are you?"

She sat listening and rolled her eyes as she said, "I understand, Mike, I do not understand what's going on but its after one on a Saturday and the bank is closed. So what I will do is send an email and go to the bank first thing Monday morning. You should have enough on your credit account to get you through till then."

She hung up and said, "I am so happy I will have everything done in the next three days. Once we get back to the apartment building, I'm gonna put my things away. Then I am heading back to Mikes apartment to finish everything.What does your week look like?"

"Well now that I have done my first sales I am going to have a new routine with little miss," I said. "I will allow appointment sales in the morning Monday thru thursday so we can do things on the weekend. After the sales and I get Chloe down for her nap I will add additional things to the store and work on the halls and then the apartments. All her appointments will be in the afternoon from now on."

"Wow you are planning," She said. "What are you planning to do on the weekends? Any room for a favorite Aunt?"

"Adventures," I said. "Of course your welcome to come with us. I am thinking of  taking Chloe to some gardens, zoos and adventures, not worrying about admission fees."

We continued to eat and talk. When we were done, we walked back to the apartment. When we got home Mr. Klaus was adding things to the hallway and his apartment. Chloe was yawning when we came in and Mr. Klaus said, "It looks like you have had a very good morning. I have something for Chloe if your alright with that Maggie."

"Of course," I said.

He walked into his apartment and came back with a teddy bear. He said, "This was a Teddy Bear I gave my wife decades ago, and I thought this would be a great gift for such a special lady."

Chloe's eyes got big, and she put her hands out. Smiling big, Mr. Klaus handed Chloe the bear as I asked, "Are you sure it was your wife's?"

He said, "Yes, I am very sure. She would not be happy if this bear sat around."

Chloe held the bear tight, and I said, "Well, I think this bear is a fan favorite."

He smiled and said, "Well there may be a few toys along the way. But i need to go. I have a call with my realtor later today. See you later today."

Sarah came out of her apartment and said, "Okay I will be back later I am going to work on the apartment."

Mr. Klaus asked, "Did you finish our storage units?"

"I have to do one last go through and then yes they will be done," She said. "I cannot wait to be moved in."

He chuckles as he said, "I agree dear I am making progress with m house now and am thinking of getting my room sorted and brought here so I can work from the top floor down and leave my office as the last room. Now Maggie if I have clients come here to see me rest assured I will walk them from the door to my apartment or meet them at the cafe across the road. It will depend o the situation."

"I will trust our judgement," I said. "Like I said if your assistant can get some of the items upstairs, it would make things easier for me. He can set aside the screens to block what is behind it."

Chloe started to fuss and I said, "Oh sweet pea, its alright. Let us get you feed and its time for a nap."

I took her to her room and nursed her as she was dozing off. When she dozed off I moved her to her bed. Going into the kitchen, I grabbed all our bags and put all the items from the farmers' market away.

I grabbed her monitor and went into the hallway to work for a while. After working for about two hours I realized CHloe was not waking up yet and went into check on her. She was cured up in a sound sleep. I didn't realize her first trip to the farmers' market had her very sleepy. I went to the hallway and continued on. By the time Chloe woke up I had finished sorting for the day and went to spend some quality time with CHloe.

Coming up- routine, Sarah done with the move and Mr. Klaus is moving in more and more things and moving in for good.
