Our story tonight is called Closing up for the Season, Part Two and it’s the second section of last week's story, though this one is told from a different perspective. It’s a story about fall chores in the garden made more enjoyable with the company of a friend. It’s also about bee balm and outer space, a bar of soap and a nail brush by the outdoor faucet, meals made with care, and small mysteries that like to remain so. 

We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Joyful Heart Foundation. Creating a more compassionate world that supports survivors on their path to justice and healing.

Our story tonight is read by Andy Richter and it's called “Crumb Meets Santa”. It’s a story about a trip into town on a December afternoon. It’s also about a chew toy in a red suit and hat, jingle bells on a collar, being surrounded by your family at the holidays, whether furry or otherwise, and letting the joy of another fill your heart. 

Andy Richter is a comedian, actor, writer, and host, best known for his many years alongside Conan O’Brien. He also happens to be part of one of those movies so many of us return to year after year, Elf. This fall, he’s taking us behind the scenes of that holiday classic in his new book, Elf Unwrapped, out November 3rd. Follow Andy on Instagram to keep up with his adventures!

Our story tonight is called The Middle Path, and it’s a story about a trek down an unknown trail at the park. It’s also about red berries on a vine, the fog of your breath in the late autumn air, geese crossing the sky, and making space for the beauty that lives all around you.

Our story tonight is called Closing up for the Season, Part One and it’s a story about a day of chores at the Inn that starts off nice and slow. It’s also about fog on the lake and the view from the window seat on the second floor. Breakfast dishes and wheel barrow rides, and a time for calmly putting things away before the snow flies.

We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Bees in the D. Building a Buzz for Pollinators Through Education and Conservation in and around Detroit.

Our story tonight is called The Secret Stair, and it’s a story about a costume party on Halloween night at the Inn.

Our story tonight is called Doug the Pug and Dory in the Village for Halloween, and it’s a story about an afternoon at the end of October in the Village Square. It’s also about catnip bats and a wagon full of pumpkins, homemade costumes, and apple turnovers, wagging tails and ruby slippers, and a new tradition made with new friends. 

We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Tiny Paws Pug Rescue which is a cause that Doug, Dory, and I care a lot about. Tiny Paws Pug Rescue rehabilitates, rehomes, educates, and advocates for pugs and pug mixes.

Our story tonight is called All Hallows’ Eve at the Inn, and it’s the third in our special Halloween series this year. It’s about the Innkeeper and her trusty sidekick Sycamore as they ready the Inn for guests on a dark October eve. It’s also about carved pumpkins that line the great staircase, a blurry face in an old photo, a bubbling cauldron of punch in the ballroom, a costume purchased from the thrift store, and a forgotten tradition brought back to life.

Our story tonight is called The Moon and the Maker’s Mark, and it’s a story about a friendship born on an autumn day and plans made in the dark of night. It’s also about quart jars and canned pumpkin, burnished copper and baking cookies and a soft spell made by loving hands.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to Looking Out Foundation, amplifying the impact of music by awarding grants, engaging community, and creating powerful partnerships.

Originally presented as Season 14, Episode 39 (Oct 14, 2024)

Our story tonight is called Crows and Candles, and it is the next in this month’s special Halloween episodes. While it isn’t at all a scary story, it is meant to be a bit of balm for those that are grieving, and if that feels too heavy for tonight, that’s understandable; might I recommend The Leaf House instead tonight?

Tonight's story is about a walk on a misty day and a place at the bottom of the hill where the gate squeaks when you push it open. It’s also about rosemary and gifts brought by birds, the magic of speaking the names of those we love, and a choice to make friends wherever you go.

Our stories tonight are some of my favorites. We’ll spend time at the Inn as the pumpkins are lit and the ballroom fills up with costumed neighbors. There will be cats in windows, a rumbling dumbwaiter, and a secret passageway that’s sat shut up for ages. We’ll wander through the alleys at the Night Market and make friends with bump in the night.
