The wind is up and that blasted Geoff is nowhere to be found! Worse hired hand ever! I need some help unfurling the sails and hooking the horse up to turn the mill and is he around? No!
And that no good daughter of mine, Agnese, where did she disappear to?
As if my luck wasn’t bad enough, the mill seems off kilter. Listen to those awful sounds, the knocking and moaning. Why, it’s almost as bad as…
Oh.
Hey you two, get your clothes on, come out of the mill and help me! We have grain to grind!

I’m glad I wasn’t drinking anything, otherwise I would have had some MAJOR spewage all over my screen. I laughed out loud which, I thought, helped because I thought maybe they were caught in the gears and going to a horrible death. Instead, some “history making” activity.
Hysterical, Trent! :D

Thanks! Hopefully they were only “history making” with their activities and not making anything (anyone) else, like Geoff Jr. ;)

They need to find a better hiding spot! The hay loft is too obvious, so someplace comfortable, yet hidden…

I don’t know what it was about the old mill that turned my mind that direction… Nice to surprise people in 100 words or less!
