CHAPTER SIX

"Come on, let’s go!" Obiwan was sleeping in a sunbeam and Polly was ready to head outside. He stood up and stretched, then waited while she put the leash on. They walked to the corner garden where a group of people were gathered. The churches in town were working together this afternoon to build the structure for the Living Nativity. She found Lydia standing off to one side, watching as hay bales were stacked around the wooden walls to add insulation as well as stability.

"Hi, dear," Lydia said. "What do you think?"

"This is so cool. It will be beautiful!"

"We've been advertising in the area. Hopefully that will bring traffic." Lydia nodded back toward Sycamore House. "And with your Christmas lights and decorations, this corner will be lovely."

"We have an event every night this week, so it will be nice for people to make this part of their celebrations."

"Office parties?" Lydia asked.

"Some of those and some different groups are hosting parties. There's a wedding on Friday night and another on Saturday."

"I'm sorry you aren't having your big Christmas party this year. That was quite a celebration."

"Jeff filled the calendar and I have plenty of opportunities for parties throughout the year. After Halloween, we needed a break."

"That's smart. So, what do you think about Jason and the donkeys? We are creating a little home for them right here. They can come and go as they please and Jason can be in the shelter.

"I wouldn't be surprised if both boys will be here. You aren't expecting them every night, are you?"

"No. Our church is here tonight and the kids know everyone. We'll be here again next Sunday, so they can do it again."

" Oh, Lydia, those donkeys are adorable! I'm in love with them already. They were so happy to see me this morning."

"How are the horses getting along with them?"

"Nan isn't sure about it yet, but the others seem to be taking it in stride. I'll take Obiwan down sometime when we don't have so much work to do. I want him to be comfortable with them, too."

"It will all come in time. Excuse me, just a minute," Lydia stepped into a cluster of people and pointed to the back of the structure, speaking quietly to them. Then she returned to Polly's side. "I should get busy."

Polly stopped her by touching her arm, "I found something yesterday in an old dresser that I bought down at the Antique Shoppe. It's a Christmas card with pictures and a letter that a mother wrote to her daughter. The family died and this daughter ... I don't know. Would you come upstairs when you're finished to look at it and tell me if you have any idea who it might be? I don't think the letter ever made it to the person who was meant to have it and I'd love to find her."

Lydia scrunched her eyes in thought and said, "Of course I'll come up. It will be good to get warm. Do you have coffee?"

"I’ll make it! Come on up whenever.
