Ack! Carol, how can you leave us hanging like that? What an excellent cliffhanger!
And Martha's letters nearly made me cry. They were so sweet and funny and sad. I'm looking forward to reading more of them!
On a more unrelated note, I was having flashbacks to my first part-time job with Lois working in the drive-through. I remember shivering in the 30 below (celsius) weather while handing ice cream through the window. And having my manager tell me that we weren't allowed to wear gloves because they were a health hazard.
