On the fifth night of Halloween…

Wicked Winifred by Katie Mettner

Winifred Papadopoulos, Freddie to her few friends, has a reputation in Snowberry, Minnesota. Behind her back, and occasionally to her face, she’s known as Wicked Winifred. Freddie uses her sharp tongue as a defense mechanism to keep people at bay. The truth is, her heart was broken beyond repair at sixteen, and she doesn’t intend to get close to anyone ever again. She didn’t foresee a two-minute conversation at speed dating as the catalyst to turn her life upside down.

Flynn Steele didn’t like dating. He liked speed dating even less. When his business partner insisted, he reluctantly agreed, sure it would be a waste of time, until he met the Wicked Witch of the West. He might not like dating, but the woman behind the green makeup intrigued him.

A downed power pole sets off a series of events neither Flynn nor Winifred saw coming. Their masks off, and their hearts open, they have until Halloween to decide if the scars of the past will bring them together or tear them apart. Grab your broomstick and hang on tight. This is going to be a bumpy ride…

Halloween Good Night by Rebecca Grabill

Gliding through the moonlight
come the monsters big and small,
sliding up your stairway

in fact they’re rather sweet.
So snuggle into bed and let them whisper,
“Trick or treat!”

Ghastly ghouls count down to Halloween in this not-so-terrifying bedtime tale. Illustrated by Ella Okstad.

Daughters of the Oak by Becky Wright

“A supernatural thriller, weaving witches and ghosts, together, in one spine-tingling tale.”

The English Civil War. The Royalists of King Charles I, and Cromwell’s Parliamentarians, battle, both eager to lay claim to a tattered country, where life has become cheap and death trivial.

Though, for the lowly commoner, a greater, far more devious, war rages. It threatens the souls of the weak, timid and needy. Seeking refuge in the Lord’s word, God fearing folk employ the skills of one man, the Witchfinder. His success speaks of his talent, to seek out, punish and rid the countryside of Witches, the Devil’s Whores.

2016 – A paranormal team are called to investigate, as poltergeist activity brings terror to one family. Under the cover of darkness, in silent suburbia, an endless night of battle against evil ensues, until finally, a new day dawns.

Lies, secrets, and treachery, it seems, are never forgotten.

Not even sure what to title this…I lost my Sister 10 years ago this year and there was no warning. I lost my Mom on January 27, 2018 and there was warning. I saw her the weekend before she died and she told me she was dying – when I left she said that would be the last time I saw her. I didn’t believe her and told her so. A week later, she died. I did speak with her that day, told her I loved her, dd loved her and we would miss her. I said we were coming up after dd got off work and I don’t know where that ‘NO’ came from but it was the strongest I had heard her be in awhile.

My Mom and I had a weird, rocky, hard relationship. But, she was my Mom. I respected her, she scared the crap out of me when I was a kid – don’t worry, I still snuck out the window in the middle of the night and still had guys come over while she was at work – oh yeah, I was naughty lol – most if not all of what I did, she never found out about – the stuff she did know about was enough for her…lol…

This is hard – I’m struggling to write this. If you knew us, you knew some of what made us the way we were. And this isn’t about that. This is about losing my Mom. Even though we had the relationship we had, she was a rock in my life. dd loved to call her and tell her I was being mean or being a two year old – my Mom would just say ‘huh?’ and we would laugh as we knew she was clueless but wanted to hear from us.

Her 80th birthday was January 9th. I didn’t come up to see her; we did talk that day and she said she had eaten raw oysters – of course I responded with ‘ew’ lol – I didn’t know that would be her last birthday.

She was ready to go – she had been ready since my Dad died 30 years ago. I had to live with that and deal with that every day. She never hid that from anyone. If you knew her, you know she missed my Dad with every fiber of her being but always said she had to raise us and take care of us. When my Sister died 10 years ago, my Mom was diagnosed with A-Fib – I don’t think she told her everything the Dr said, but, a lot of people don’t.

In the end, when she begged to go home – it’s where she wanted to be, I knew that – I granted her wish and she was brought home with hospice care. I think she knew where she was – I was told she seemed to recognize her surroundings – bottom line is, she died where she wanted to be and is where she has wanted to be for the past 30 years.

What’s super crazy is, but, I know some will understand, I felt her the night she died – dd and I had gone to bed – hoping for sleep – and around 10:15pm I felt a sense of calmness come over me – it only lasted a short time – dd said she felt the same thing – about 15 minutes later, my phone rang. I already knew before I answered and my cousin confirmed my Mom had just passed away.

Five months later and I’m dealing with packing up the house and dealing with all the emotions and stress and oh yes, migraines. I was told not to make any huge changes in the first year – kinda hard to do when your apt lease is about to expire – so, dd and I moved into the house that I grew up in. Talk about emotional overload!! But, every time we came to pack up the house, I was drained when I went back to work on Mondays. The cats were having a hard time because I was over stressed and super emotional. I think the move was a good decision. Still dealing with stress, emotion overload, anxiety, depression and migraines, but, right now, we are taking one day at a time. We are handling the holidays without her – Thanksgiving and Christmas will be the hardest and I don’t know what we will end up doing, but, dd and I will be together and we will make new memories.

One Day at a Time…

 

This is Shadow, my house panther – she’s not bad luck – you should go out and adopt a black kitty too!!!
