Shhh - it's a secret

Dear RCK,

Now that K is six - a family secret can now be revealed. Your great-great-great grandmother was a witch. Not a horrible witch so often portrayed today in books and movies but a good witch.  Here at the cottage, dear Esmeralda, a very sweet but not very bright witch, posted the sign for the monthly witches meeting and of course forgot to take it down. Luckily the neighbors thought it was a great joke and hence the sign has  remained for humans to view. On the 13th day of every month at the stroke of midnight, you will see that the parking is full off  broomsticks.... More to be revealed in later blogs.  Hugs, C
