Happy Friday the 13th!! I hope this special day finds you well, waiting and looking for wonder.

The numbering of the days is complete. From September 15, 1896 to today, Mary and Marie have arrived and are anxious to share their adventures with you. Of course, Jakub and Jim are pretty happy too. Or is it four? Read the story for more.

And I am also anxious. So, here it is, the second Mary story, a bit earlier than scheduled, appearing at 7:36 AM CST, or thereabouts, on your home screen.

May Mary and the Red Shoes bring a smile to your face, a skip to your walk, and happy thoughts to your morning, day, evening and night.

Don’t worry about that Haunted Closet. It’s really not that scary. BANG! What was that sound?

Have a day of wonderment,

Grandpa Jim
