Wednesday, December 9 “Peppermint? Are you making candy canes again?” Aunt Margie wandered into the kitchen, smelling the air appreciatively. “No, but I could, if you wanted me to,” Molly said, getting a mug of tea for her aunt and gesturing to one of the stools. “Then what am I smelling?” “Peppermint tea cakes for …

(Advent) December 7

Monday, December 7 Molly! Molly! Schrodinger came bounding up the stairs to the second floor, calling for her at the top of his mental lungs.
