Ray sat quietly in the room, his elbows resting on his knees and his head down. The room was warm from the fires he had built there in the parlor and across the hall in the dining room -keeping busy while he waited for Livy to come downstairs. Livy entered the room from the hallway and softly called, "Ray? Ray raised his head and stood as she entered. Livy continued, "I have to go say good bye to the girls.". He paused and then said, "I sound like I'm trying to sell you something.". Livy held her fingers...

Letter from the Past. Livy goes into the store and finds a nice piece of baby blue plaid cloth. She figures she will make him a pair of short coveralls-we know them today as john-john suits. Martha said that would be the easiest thing to make since it was her first big undertaking. Livy had made new curtains for Daniels room-the bunk room-and a spread for the crib, but not any clothes.

A Day to Remember. It was a Friday in February and two days before Daniel' baptism. With Livy's encouragement, Ray had agreed that they would host a luncheon at the house following the ceremony at church and Livy had been working all week on getting the house ready and planning the menu. Ray grunted as Chester hit him and put out his hands to steady the boy and to slow any further momentum. Chester looked up at Ray with alarm in his eyes. Ray, getting his breath back had to laugh in light of poor...I'm f...

Several weeks had passed since the letter came to Ray. Livy had wanted to ask Ray about the letter, but she was scared to know who Amy Cooper was.

Small Miracles of the Prairie. He stripped off another layer, this time his broadcloth shirt. He already had his coat hooked on the fence next to the gate. This early in April and the warmth could be felt in the mid-morning sun. Looks like a early summer." He mumbled to himself, as was his way when he worked alone. As he stood back up and scanned the horizon off this slight rise of a field, taking in the green panorama, he had to laugh at himself. He had been reluctant to switch this field to wheat.

I had a baby, I didn't have a disease! That's true, Ray," she said. Livy laughed. "Maybe not, but I wonder if you could keep Danny occupied long enough for me to get a bath in before it is time for him to eat. I've ...Livy ...

Troy Dinner Re-write Part II. Part II "Mr. and Mrs. Singleton". Ray woke with a start when he realized the muffled sounds in his dream were really Livy, sitting on the edge of the bed, obviously in pain. Livy, what's wrong, are you alright? It's my leg, there's something wrong with the back of my leg. It's hard and it feels like it's on fire, it's not stopping." Livy's voice was edgy, nearly panicky. That sure does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Livy said, proudly owning the name. Ray chuckled; Livy...
