News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Tammy and Tommy UK were stunned. Putting the pieces in the puzzle hadn’t worked. They had read the driblet. They were certain this was the answer and it hadn’t worked. Now what could they do. Where should they go. They had bet on this answer and it seems to be wrong. Tommy UK went over the clues again. Herman was the seer. The puzzle was something from his past that he knew but he had forgotten. In other words something he knew but didn’t know. The pictures in the puzzle fit the three pictures from the roof of the Masonic building. They had to be right but it didn’t work. It just didn’t work. Little by little the shadow was still growing.
Then it hit Tommy UK. Herman was the key. He had failed in the long past and somehow caused all of this. He had to undo it. He had to put the pieces in the puzzle. But where was Herman.
Is Tommy UK right? Will they find Herman in time? Can they convince him to do the puzzle? Is this really the answer?

Wrap Up

Good breathing day. Betty and I did one thing all day. We started early in the morning and wrote our annuaol family letter ( you know the one everyone hates to get in which you tell how wonderful your family is) and the sort of annual quiz ( a little bit annual). Then we created our Christmas card. After that we ran them. We had some printer problems but got those corrected. My sister Dawn called to see how I was doing. After we finished the cards and letters we brought the address labels up to date and I printed labels. Betty put them on the assembled cards. Then we prepared the Christmas gifts for my nephews and tomorrow we will mail them all out. After that I visted the first tier of links. Now I need a breathing treatment.
