A New Life in an Old House
I decided to take a few weeks to just relax. I spent my first day at the house hiking near the creek, fishing on a small pond and meeting folks in town. The attic was filled with random furniture, toys and trinkets from my mother's childhood. After an unsuccessful search, I glanced up toward the loft and noticed there was a doll propped up against the wall. As I left, I noticed that there were less dolls than I had remembered. Whatever, I decided just to read my mother's diary. Several of them mentioned her older brother James throwing temper tantrums for no reason,. punching himself in the face or trying to fling his baseball bat into a tree.
