Y'know, ever since Merry took off outta Autumn Vale (Author's note: see Much Ado About Muffin for an explanation!) I been seeing a lot of changes goin' on in Autumn Vale. And not for the good, I gotta say.
Used to be I would dress up in weird hats and walk around town just outta boredom. But I ain't been bored ever since Merry Wynter came to town. God, my old pal Melvyn Wynter woulda loved his great niece. She's a real pistol. She don't even know how she shook this town wide awake. We were like Rip Van Winkle, slumbering in a western New York heat wave, an' she came along and shook us outta our torpor.
But she's been gone a while now, left us in the lurch; she said she's coming back, but I don't know when. And things are goin' sour again.It ain't just her muffins I miss, though those are pretty good too. I miss the way she'd get involved and straighten things out.
There's dark things going on, and people being sucked into crap they shouldn't. How it'll end, I can't even figure. That's the crappy thing about bein' as old as I am; folks are real nice and sweet to you and all, but they don't listen to a derned thing you say. Not really listen. Merry listens when I talk... really listens. Dang it, I miss that girl, and so do Pish and Shilo. Crap goin' on there too.
Did I say that already? Mebbe, but it bears repeatin'. I miss Merry! She better get back here soon.
Do you ever see cruddy things coming, and yet you know there's not a goldarn thing you can do about it? Ain't that the craps?

About Much Ado About Muffin
In this fresh mystery from the national bestselling author of Death of an English Muffin, baker Merry Wynter comes to the aid of an innocent woman accused of murder.
When muffin baker Merry Wynter sees an innocent woman accused of murder, it’s dough or die...
Opera singer Roma Toscano may have a crippling case of stage fright, but she certainly is stirring up drama in Autumn Vale, New York, as she prepares for an upcoming performance at Merry’s Wynter Castle. With her flamboyant style and flirtatious personality, Roma attracts fans as well as critics, including the town’s postmistress—and Merry’s bitter foe—Minnie Urquhart.
But Roma and Minnie’s heated rivalry goes cold after Merry discovers Minnie dead at the post office. While every clue seems to be another ingredient in the investigation of Roma, Merry thinks the case is half-baked, and she’s eager to get her mitts on the real killer...

One of my favorite series. And Doc, I hate it when you can see bad stuff is going to happen and you just have to sit back and watch it happen. That's usually when I go hide in a book. Bevarcher (at) me (dot) com

ReplyUs older folks have learned a thing or two but, of course, no one listens to us. The young think they know it all. We have to just step back and let them make their own mistakes.

Love this except, what a character. I think the older we get the more we can recognize when something is going to happen that we won't like much, but on the positive side we know we'll likely get through it just fine - eventually. What a lovely cup and spoon. Thanks for the giveaway.

Even when the cruds are coming (and we know it) we get to choose our attitude. At least we've got that. Of course, sometimes I wish I could choose others attitudes for them as well! Hard when you see the cruds coming for someone who was asking for it and all they do is whine and complain.
