RE: Roddie and I Share the Kitchen (SWC)
@joannereid, this is fabulous! I laughed out loud, I marveled at the ghosts (your dad setting the fire is a hoot) and your writing is a treasure!

Thank you! a few years ago my sister and I decided to carve out areas for ourselves on the land. Dad left it to the four kids as tenants in common. We have to agree on anything we do with the land. We each picked out a spot and got the only roadway into the land widened by the goverment because as it was, it was the driveway to the neighboring lot. So there we were driving on this spectacular summer day to see the new entrance. (Dad sold an acre of the land AND the right of way so we had no good way to get to the land other than walk across the neighbor's property.
We took the scenic route, coming down the hill from the northside and the land looked lovely, green in the bright sun, the red driveway all fresh and inviting. There was no lane into the spots we picked but the point was to inspect the driveway and walk through the woods and plan the laneway.
We drove down the hill to the main road and turned left. The driveway was about 100 feet away. As we turned into the driveway, the skies opened and the sun disappeared and there was a huge downfall of rain. Carol shook her head slowly and said, "Stop it, Dad, just stop it."
She opened the car door and just like that the rain stopped and the sun came out.
Wow, how nice that your dad visits you like that!
It is. And he always teases us. We do feel the love.
