Quiz: What's Your Whispering Fence Commenter Name?


Hey there, Reader

Last Sunday, you met a few of Ethel Sue's new neighbors. They are a hoot, aren't they?! 😁 But I also left you in Meadow Ridge with three missing decorations.

By 8:30am that morning nearly half the neighborhood had joined the search.

Naturally, everyone had a theory.

You see, just yesterday Reg had been caught “inspecting” one of Helen’s other wreaths.

Fred owned a truck and knew how to restore old wood.

And Dot, well she has the means to move things... she has a golf cart WITH a trailer she can hitch to the back. Sure she says she just uses it for gardening, but the Bridge Ladies aren't quite convinced yet. 😅💁‍♀️

But the next day Helen’s wreath reappeared on her porch. 🎉

Only now, the loose grapevines had been secured, the faded bow had been replaced, and it looked better than it had before it disappeared.❤️

Whoever took the decorations might not be stealing them. They might be trying to help. 🤔

Once the Whispering Fence shared the story, the commenters arrived with a few theories of their own.

Which got me wondering... What would your Whispering Fence commenter name be?

Use the first letter of your first name for the first half and the first letter of your last name for the second.

Hit reply and tell me yours. I have a feeling a few of you are going to sound suspiciously believable.

Next Sunday, we’re leaving the Whispering Fence long enough to join Lora in the kitchen. She has one hundred decorated sugar cookies to make for the Willow Creek Christmas Tour of Homes—and she’s sharing the recipe with us.

Grace + hugs,

Melissa Alyse ❤️

Hey Friends! For five mysteries now, Ethel Sue has taken us all over Willow Creek — down to Corpus Christi and even over to Magnolia Bend for Lora's cookie contest. But this time? The mystery comes right to her own front porch. Welcome to Meadow Ridge. It's the new 55+ community (some of y'all would call it a subdivision) tucked inside Willow Creek, next to The Grove and the new golf course. Close enough to Main Street that you can still run in for coffee and be home before it cools. Before...

Hey there, Reader, We made it home from Arkansas this week, and my heart is full. This Thanksgiving, we - Edmund, Sammy and Jake - made the trip to visit my son, Jeff, and his family. (Sammy is his oldest.) This year, Edmund, Sammy and Jake came along too. Jake offered to drive, and Edmund happily settled into the front seat to "help navigate." That left Sammy and me in the backseat and we started catching up before we even left town. What project Sammy is excited about. What God has been...

Hey sweet friend, Around Willow Creek, most mysteries start small. A note slips from a book. A misplaced lanyard. A lost horse. Somebody's dog deciding the neighbor's flower bed looks more interesting than home. 😁 This time? Farmer Frank is missing three Thanksgiving turkeys. Now, that's a problem all by itself. But here's the bigger problem... These are the three turkeys designated for the Senior Center's annual Thanksgiving feast! So naturally, after water aerobics, Ethel Sue and Lora head...
