Fifteen minutes later, I was still

rummaging around in Mom’s sewing room. “I think we’ll be pretty good at this,” I yelled to Benny.

“Good to hear, Sis!” he shouted back. Mom attached 3x5 cards onto the hanger of every costume in her shop to list stuff like the date the piece was made, the size, needed repairs, and the cleaning record. In the new sewing room, next to the sewing table, Mom had a bowl filled with cards, tailor chalk, and other small sewing tools.

Ten minutes later, I joined Benny at the mystery table with the backpack, satchel, cards, pencils, and clues list. Benny finished logging onto the Internet as he sat next to a big bag of avocado chips and two, cold orange soda bottles.

“What did you use for a password?” I asked.

“Uncle Scott set it as ‘Rammie1924’. It isn’t rocket science, just saying.” Benny shrugged and smiled.

“So, I propose we go over the lists together, and I’ll write our clues down on the 3x5 cards…”

“And anything else we have questions about,” Benny added.

“Okay, question topics too,” I agreed.

It was a painfully long task. Three and a half hours passed, and I don’t think we stopped talking for more than a minute or two that entire time. This house was the perfect place to solve a mystery. At times, it felt like the house itself encouraged our questions and deepened our curiosity. We sat on every antique comfy chair, leaned in talking against the cool river rock fireplace, sprawled out over the colorful woven carpets, and even sat on stacks of leather books talking eye to eye. We strolled under blooming garden trellises, ate sandwiches beside the rushing creek off of hand-painted Spanish dishes, swung in the canopied porch swing, and even waved from the porch stairs to Mrs. Krebs. All along, I kept writing clues on 3x5 cards and, as always, Rammie tagged along sharing his opinions. We returned to the mystery table, with a nearly empty, six-pack of soda, dirty lunch dishes, and a fully completed deck of 3x5 clue cards.

“Fifty-two cards? We wrote out a full deck!” I spread them out over the table so we could see them all at once. “Wow it’s, what’s the word… daunting?” I said. Benny just stared at them all with a red straw in his mouth.

After about five minutes, I needed to see it differently. “Mind if I put them in a timeline of when things happened, sort of a chronological order?” I asked.

“Yeah let’s try that. I’ll help,” Benny said, standing. We finished and stared some more – 52 clues and questions:
