Do it Sam. I love to read what you write.

I third the motion with Ronda and Susan; go go go with the serial stuff, sammygirl.....b

I think Poco is visiting Fall for a month. My granddaughter arrives tomorrow for the month of July. I will be busy with her. Poco may return to the mountains and adventures of Pennsylvania in August.
Thanks for the kind words!!

[Rokinronda]

We will await and look forward to her return! Have fun with the grand!!! Time with them is so precious!

[nONIE]

Enjoy your little doll Sam!

[samhass]

I can't wait to see her!!

[Rokinronda]

BUMP for SAM!!!!!

[samhass]

Thanks for the bump Ronda. Life will be rather hectic for me for the next 6 weeks. Unless someone else takes Poco back to Pennsylvania, she has to stay in TV for now. I am going back to Pa myself...but I shall return! Will Poco join me while I am up there? Will I become enchanted with the woods all over again? Will I want to return to TV? For natural beauty, Pennsylvania is tough to beat. TV is about the people though...wonderful, fun people.

6 WEEKS??!! Oh no! > I understand your feelings about beautiful!! Can I come??

[samhass]

Flip Flop.

Sam got in her cart and went to the square. She found Poco at Starbucks sitting quietly, pensively, sipping a large coffee. Sam got a coffee and sat across from Poco at the small table. "Sam to Poco. A penny for your thoughts." she said. Poco slowly smiled. "I have had a lovely time here in TV....but..it's time for me to head back. I have so much work to do and yet I want to shrug my responsibilities and stay here. I want to go out and play all day but I realize I have not earned the right."
Sam looked at her solemnly. "I am returning soon. Why don't you take the same flight and go back with me. You can stay at my home in the woods and do your research. I must tell you though, the caretaker told me a large black bear came right up to the back door."
Poco laughed in delight. "That close to Philadelphia?" she asked. "I'll book my flight,Sam, and return with you. I'll stay at your place and explore the woods. I understand that a magnificent older woman lives on your "mountain" and has many tales to tell."
"Yes" replied Sam. "Her name is Edith and she is in a 1957 edition of National Geographic.
She knows much lore of the woods. I will take you to meet her when we get to Hawk Hill."

Poco looked at Sam, smiled impishly and said "We're not leaving for a while yet. Let's enjoy the rest of our time here."
RR ,Sam is not going for 6 weeks. She has gotten to used to the warm sunshine. The question becomes How long will Poco stay?

[Just Susan]

"There you two are" cried Fall. "I have been looking everywhere for you. I have some news to tell you. Susan has sent word that she is on the lookout for the Mankini and has put detective in chage of the watch...and..and, well, Buff is back in town." (sigh)

"And Sam I heard you are leaving and well, you just have to take me with you. From your house I will find my way to the Great Lakes and canoe across to Lake Superior and then I will portage to the head waters of the Mississippi and paddle down it, to Susan's house. Hope I make it before it freezes."

Poco, Fall and Sam high fived one another. They looked forward to their journey. Sam told Fall to look for the red mankini when she arrived at Susan's. The three of them burst into laughter. Their journey was days away yet. For now they would enjoy the sunshine and the people of TV. Poco got on the phone and started rounding up her posse of buddies.
