Hey there, Reader Last Sunday, you met a few of Ethel Sue's new neighbors. They are a hoot, aren't they?! 😁 But I also left you in Meadow Ridge with three missing decorations. By 8:30am that morning nearly half the neighborhood had joined the search. Naturally, everyone had a theory. You see, just yesterday Reg had been caught “inspecting” one of Helen’s other wreaths. Fred owned a truck and knew how to restore old wood. And Dot, well she has the means to move things... she has a golf cart WITH a trailer she can hitch to the back. Sure she says she just uses it for gardening, but the Bridge Ladies aren't quite convinced yet. 😅💁♀️ But the next day Helen’s wreath reappeared on her porch. 🎉 Only now, the loose grapevines had been secured, the faded bow had been replaced, and it looked better than it had before it disappeared.❤️ Whoever took the decorations might not be stealing them. They might be trying to help. 🤔 Once the Whispering Fence shared the story, the commenters arrived with a few theories of their own. Which got me wondering... What would your Whispering Fence commenter name be? Use the first letter of your first name for the first half and the first letter of your last name for the second. Hit reply and tell me yours. I have a feeling a few of you are going to sound suspiciously believable. Next Sunday, we’re leaving the Whispering Fence long enough to join Lora in the kitchen. She has one hundred decorated sugar cookies to make for the Willow Creek Christmas Tour of Homes—and she’s sharing the recipe with us. Grace + hugs, Melissa Alyse ❤️

Well hello again, Reader! Remember last week when I told you the Henderson house had to pull out of the Willow Creek Christmas Home Tour? And that Sarah had already found another house to take its place? Well… It’s my old farmhouse. The one I sold when I moved to Meadow Ridge last year. The one with the creaky floors, the crooked porch rail, and enough “character” that five of the windows refuse to open on a nice cool morning. 🙄 And apparently, they’ve brought in a big-time decorator from...
Well hello there, Reader, The Willow Creek Christmas Home Tour is just a few weeks away, and if you’ve never been, let me tell you… this is not one of those “walk past a house and admire a wreath” situations. No ma’am. Every year, Sarah and Kevin Shoreman of Shoreman Realty pull the whole thing together with the kind of grace that makes the rest of us suspect they’ve got a secret team of elves working out of the back office. Families all over town open their homes for the evening, decked to...
