Whispers of the Heart Opening Night
The night started off slow. Where it was daylight still outside, there were many families and those sometimes included young children that insisted on seeing the haunted house and parents that had never learned to be able to tell their children ‘no’. What resulted from that was a bunch of overstimulated and terrified kids that didn’t have any business being there to begin with trying to manuever through something not designed for them to even enter and nothing but crying and screaming nonstop.Because of this, a guide would come downstairs and inform us quickly that we had a group coming through that could not be interacted with. Vanessa and I were stuck in our coffins while Owen and Danny were forced into the shadows while they all clambered down the stairs and through the basement, a place that looked spooky enough without interaction. From there, they were led outside and away and we could open the coffins and breathe until we heard the next group coming.The theater group was bein
Whispers of the Heart Favorite Parts of Fall
After school started back, the excitement turned to the upcoming holiday that all kids and teenagers love, Halloween. The local theater was putting on their annual haunted house but we saw signs that they were short on actors. They had it open on Saturday nights and then on Friday nights that there wasn’t a home football game to compete with.There was an old abandoned mansion at the end of a dead end street here in town that the owner allowed them to use every year for the haunted house. The home belonged to his mother and father and he had never had the heart to sell the place, although he had no intentions of living there. It was over a century old and would need so much renovation to modernize that he deemed it not worth it. So, he had made a deal with the theater company years ago to allow them to use the place, free of charge and turn it into the haunted house each year as long as they paid the utilities during the time it was in use as well as mowed and maintained the grounds t
Whispers of the Heart Fall Break Ends
Phil and Sherry came back from their vacation on Friday morning and I had to relunctantly give Nate back to them. We dropped him off as I had to fight the tears. It had been a great week but I was hoping to have a little more time with him before they returned.Thankfully, he seemed fine with it and acted like he had missed his daddy and Sherry. As soon as we dropped him off, he ran and threw his arms around Sherry’s legs, even before hugging his daddy. I took that as a good sign that Sherry was exactly the person he needed in his life to be that mother figure.Even though I hated dropping Nate back off, Owen and I could spend the rest of the weekend together as now a little romantic getaway. We went out to breakfast before going back to his house. Once we were back, we spent the greater part of the morning back in bed, alternating between making love and napping. It was like I could never get enough of him or his touch and anytime he was around me or laid his hands on me, I was ready
Whispers of the Heart Fall Break, Part Four
Monday was a perfect pool day. After the rain on Sunday, the sun had came back out in full force for what some of the old timers around town called “Indian Summer”. It’s apparently a time in late fall, usually October or November, when Mother Nature decides that summer is not quite over and hits us with one more blast of hot weather before we have true fall and then the first hints of winter.It was ninety degrees by noon so after finishing a late breakfast and playing some basketball with Nate in the gym inside the large building called the pool house, we switched gears and climbed in the pool.Their pool was designed with warming jets and Owen had turned them on early in the morning so that the water would be reasonably warm enough to match the temperatures outside. There is usually that moment of climbing in the pool that is a shock to your system. It's when your body has to do a major adjustment and then you have to just decide to put yourself out of your misery and go under as qu

Owen and Nate had a blast fishing once we finally made it to the pond. The grounds beyond the main yard were massive and impressive. He said it totaled over fifty acres. Much of it was fields and farmland but there was a section on the back perimeter that was heavily wooded and transitioned into hills and mountains.The pond was huge and when we first approached, a small herd of deer were drinking at it. They popped their heads up, curious about us before running off. Owen took out all of the fishing gear and then set everything up in the Gator so that I could spread myself across the seat comfortably and read while they fished.From time to time, I watched them and took a break from my reading. Owen was a really good role model for Nate. He showed him how to bait the hook and was patient with him the whole time. He showed him how to cast and to be careful and mindful while doing so to avoid injuring others with the hook. He then showed him how to set his line up on some forked sticks

I forgot that sleeping in with Nate was impossible. Since school started, he was up bright and early almost as soon as the sun rose. I had somehow managed to drag myself away from Owen last night, although neither of us wanted to. I told him it would be better if while we were here, if I slept in the bed with Nate and he stayed in his own room. It was what his mother wanted and although she wasn’t here, I wanted to respect her wishes in her own home and I explained that to him. He had pouted but said he understood and let me know that he didn’t think he would get a wink of sleep without me since he had gotten so used to us sleeping side by side.I put Nate playing on his tablet while I took a shower and while we waited for Owen to get out of bed. We hadn’t really discussed what the plans for each day would be so I needed to wait and see what the plan was for everything, from meals to activities.Owen stumbled over around eight-fifteen and bless his heart, he didn’t look like he had sle
