Whenever I am busy trying to get ironing done, running errands, or trying to make dinner around everyone’s schedule, I wonder how women used to do it before we had all the newfangled appliances. With hectic schedules, it is harder for us to indulge ourselves by getting buried in a good book. This is why I have decided to write this novelette series, so busy readers have the ability to read a short story while they are waiting to pick a child up, taking kids to the dentist or doctor, or just trying to catch a few moments of peace. The series consists of four novelettes about four brothers, and a follow up story, the story of their ma, so be sure to read them in order to follow the story from the beginning... until the end.
The History of House Springs, Missouri
––––––––
While this story is fictional, House Springs is an actual town. In the late 1700s, a man named Adam House settled on property that has a large spring. The area became known as House’s Spring, and eventually became known as House Springs. I can only imagine what the area was like in the 1800s, which is when this story takes place. I remember how I thought it was the ‘boonies’ when I first moved out to the area in 1983. It has grown quite a lot in the last thirty+ years. When I first moved out here, we didn’t have fast food restaurants. There were only small diners. My husband and I opened our own bakery, which we operated for a little over 18 years. I miss the bakery...or the baked goodies...and I also miss hanging out with the locals. It seems life has become more complicated and busier, even though we’ve got all the new fangled inventions to help make our lives easier. I’m not sure it’s working...
