Placing the bags on the counter, Donna slipped off her jacket and hung it on the back of a kitchen chair, and then she pulled an apron over her work clothes. She started unpacking the groceries, first putting the refrigerated foods away and then she started working on the canned goods. She smiled as she heard Ryan singing. It wasn’t a tune she was familiar with, so he must have learned it in daycare.
“Where did you learn that song?” she asked him, leaning over the open counter to listen more closely to the words.
“Liza taught it to me,” he said.
She smiled. Ryan’s invisible friend was certainly creative. “Well, say thank you to Liza for me,” she replied. “It’s a pretty song.”
He continued singing it, “Who will wipe away my tears? Who will chase away my fears? Who will sing me to sleep at night? Who will tuck me in real tight? Now that Momma’s dead and gone, now that Momma’s dead and gone.”
Slightly alarmed at the lyrics, Donna walked around the counter and entered the living room. “How would you like to watch your favorite cartoon?” she asked, picking up a DVD on a shelf next to the television set and sliding it into the DVD player.
“But Liza still wants to sing,” Ryan said.
“Well, Liza can sing and you can watch television,” she said. “How’s that for a compromise.”
He nodded. “I guess that will be fine.”
She turned on the television and waited until Ryan’s show started before returning to the kitchen to put away the rest of the groceries. She opened up a cupboard and was reaching up to the top shelf to put an extra jar of peanut butter away when she heard the soft voice behind her. It was high-pitched, like a little girl’s voice, but it held an ethereal quality to it as it filled the kitchen.
“Who will wipe away my tears? Who will chase away my fears? Who will sing me to sleep at night? Who will tuck me in real tight? Now that Momma’s dead and gone, now that Momma’s dead and gone.”
Mary O’Reilly receives a call from a friend in Galena urging her to drive there and speak with a woman who is sure her house is haunted by a little girl. Once she meets the child, she is astonished to discover the child was re-homed, an underground adoption practice still practiced in the United States. Unfortunately, her re-homing did not end well, and Mary, Bradley, and Mike search for a couple who “adopt” unwanted children and then murder them.

New HP Laserjet Printer I received this product as New HP Laserjet Printer
I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The set-up was easy! There were even instructions on how to take the printer out of the box! There were very BRIGHT pieces of tape to take off to free up the moving parts, and then everything else was plug-and-play. I had an HP printer, so the HP software was already installed on my computer. My computer immediately recognized the LaserJet's wireless connection, and in seconds I was set up and ready to go. 
I have a home office, and my printer had always been the go-to printer for not only my business but also the rest of my family. I love how quickly this printer prints. So much faster than my older printer. I LOVE that others can print from their phones or their computers - so, no more "Mom, can you print this for me." I love how quiet it is, and for such a powerhouse, its footprint is relatively small. The only thing I wish it had was color printing capabilities - but for everyday office and family printing - it's amazing. #stellarreviews

I will never get over how majestic these amazing birds are. #baldeagles #homeofthefree #countryliving #peopleinyourneighborhood.
