Our Mystery (An Edgemont Adventure)

Well, here is another Edgemont adventure. I guess it is sort of taking forever. Sorry about that.

Every kid wants a mystery of their own. I know we always have. Well, we finally get one and it lasted a total of ten minutes! (I’m holding to the theory that we’re just really good detectives.)

We spent the day painting as we did every day for the last week and a half. Afternoon came and we were busily painting the living room in the Edgemont house when Melissa noticed that the pantry in the kitchen, which was right off the living room, looked like a closed in staircase. We opened the pantry door and found that the shelves even looked like they used to be the first few steps of a staircase. Then Peter remembered that one of the closets had what looked like a hatch.

Naturally, this was much more exciting than painting so we took a break to check this out (what kid wouldn’t, I ask you?) Peter got the first look (it being his hatch) and came to report that there was an attic, a very LARGE attic. As big as any one of the houses’ levels and with a high ceiling! It even had a brick chimney!

“An attic?” you ask. Everyone knows that attics have cool old stuff, especially large attics that haven’t been explored in years. Sadly, this one did not. We didn’t even get to go into it but we took great joy in telling the owner of the house that she had an entire new level that she didn’t know she had! That was nice!

But the best part was this: We didn’t have to paint the attic!!! We just got to discover it! Just like Columbus…only on a much smaller level. (Note the ‘much’.)

So now you know. We’re brilliant detectives! If you ever lose your attic, you know who to call!

Well, that is all I can think to add at the moment so I will wish you Buenos noches!

Yours truly,

Mandy
