Probate
Tuesday October 8 Bobbie awoke feeling rested. This dry, arid weather was good for her sleep. She got up and stretched and checked her computer. She saw that a year ago she was planning a retirement party and gulped; Saturday October 12, the day of the Carson memorial, was the one-year anniversary of Alex’s death.…

Friends to the Rescue
Monday October 7 Bobbie arrived at the Carson ranch on Sunday evening, she met Dina and gave her excuses and retired to her rooms early. They put her in Townes’ dad’s suite.

Inroads
Wednesday Sep 25 Bobbie went to Frank and Belinda’s suite for dinner. “Hi Bobbie, I’m so glad you’re here. We’ve been meaning to have you over for ages but we’ve been so busy with the new jobs and the new house and all that. Where’s Townes?” “Thanks for having me. Townes and I are taking…

Homecoming
Sunday Sep 22 Trixie and Greg arrived on Saturday morning and Trixie, who travelled to the home with Bobbie when they were young, said it was weird not to have Bobbie’s grandma and housekeeper Sadie there. Bobbie was happy that they were able to get her grandpa’s old Beetlecat sailboat working. Johnny packed up the…

The Old House is Still Standing
Friday Sept 20, 2019 Bobbie ended up inviting Myra and Kirby to come with them for the weekend. She was shocked that Johnny had never told her about his sister. She knew that his mum died when he was around 15 and he he had trouble dealing with it. When he was 17 his dad…
