Take Me to the Moon 3.4: Cassandra Saves the Legacy

Previous Chapter / Next Chapter



Delaney Tesla was a woman on a mission.  She believed her granddad, that it was her destiny to fulfill her great-grandmother's dream of one of the Tesla's becoming a space explorer, and she worked every day on her science skills.





After she finished her homework, she was either on the nursery porch working on chemistry, or in the small observatory with her granddad, charting the stars.

Take Me to the Moon 3.3: Taming of the Snob

Previous Chapter / Next Chapter




Cassandra Tesla couldn't even wait for the guests to leave, or to take her wedding dress off.  She had to get back to her beloved plants.  





Her new husband, Cedric, decided he'd rather help out in the garden than go wait in the bedroom alone.  He tended to Grandma Maddi's apple tree.

Take Me to the Moon 3.2: Cassandra's Wedding (or, Another Day with the Evil Snob)

Previous Chapter / Next Chapter



It was the day before Cassandra's wedding, and the bride was not getting her nails done, or having a bachelor party.  She was hunting down an elusive tomato plant to add a cutting to her garden.  Finally, late in the afternoon, after searching every neighborhood in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs, she found a community garden she hadn't noticed before in the low cost area of Oasis Springs.  In the midst of the dust-blown landscape, she finally got her cutting, and a few tomatoes.




Cassandra went home with her treasure and immediately planted one tomato, and grafted one cutting.  Then she tenderly checked each of her plants, which she had been away from since dawn.    Her fiance, Cedric, who had gotten really sad in her absence, came out to eat his supper and watch her garden.

Take Me to the Moon 2.7: A Little Bit of Each Other

Previous Chapter / Next Chapter




"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere."  Tim McGraw


From the outside, everything looked idyllic and peaceful at the Tesla home.




But inside, the situation was  not fairy-tale worthy.  (Evil witch forced to wash large piles of dishes: not by the book.)

Take Me to the Moon 2.6: Baby Boom

Previous Chapter / Next Chapter








In the days after Barnaby's wedding, Beatrice found herself pulled to her mother's grave more often.  She was uncharacteristically saddened by the loss.





Take Me to the Moon 2.5: Barnaby's Wedding






Barnaby grieved hard for two long days.  Nothing seemed to console him after his mother's death.  The family was forced to postpone the wedding until Barnaby could think of life going on.

Take Me To The Moon 2.3: The Cassandra Complex




After Micah's death, Maddi once again planted a little apple tree, and started to tend it daily.  The one she planted when Beatrice was a baby had died from neglect in the long years of hard work and struggle to make ends meet.




Maddi seemed to be aging quickly these days, but she had reason to be happy.
