POOR MOUNTAIN MOTHER’S SPECIAL VALENTINE’S written by Debbie Williamson The Poor Mountain Family were sitting around their kitchen table just after finishing dinner. “Valentine’s Day is only a few days away,” said Poor Mountain Sister. “We should do something special for Poor Mountain Mother,” said Poor Mountain Brother, as Poor Mountain Mother left the table to answer the phone.” “We really should,” said Poor Mountain Sister. “However, we don’t have any money? What could we do?” Poor Mountain Father stood up and reached into his pocket and pulled out a crisp $50 bill. The two Poor Mountain children couldn’t believe their eyes. They haven’t seen a $50 bill in so long. “Where did you get that?” asked Poor Mountain Brother. “I got a bonus from the mill today,” said Poor Mountain Father. “I can’t think of a better … Read entire article »

Poor Mountain Father

June 4th, 2010 | Add a Comment

POOR MOUNTAIN FATHER The Poor Mountain Family were a set of characters that I created back in 2005 when I moved to British Columbia, Canada. I wanted a set of characters in which they respect each other as a family through thick and thin. Poor Mountain Father is the head of the Poor Mountain Family. He may not have much money but he still provides for his family as best as he can under the circumstances. Poor Mountain Father wanted a better life for his children. He wanted them to grow up in the fresh air of the mountains and not have to put up with pollution and noise. Poor Mountain Father is very kind and generous and not just generous with money, which he doesn’t have a lot of. He knows how … Read entire article »

"It is really difficult for the children to go trick-or-treating here in the mountains so, I was thinking, we should have a little party for them instead." "That sounds like a really fun idea," said Poor Mountain Mother. "I could bake a Halloween cake." "Oh that would be really great," said Poor Mountain Father. "The children would love it. I was also thinking that we could play some games and carve a pumpkin." Poor Mountain Mother and Poor Mountain Father were very excited about their plan for a Halloween party … Read entire article »

EASTER SNOW written by Debbie Williamson “Oh no!” exclaimed Poor Mountain Sister, just getting up out of bed, still in slippers and housecoat. “What!” exclaimed Poor Mountain Brother, who had been awake for awhile and then seeing what his sister was looking at said, “Oh it is only snow. What is wrong with that?” “It is Easter morning,” said Poor Mountain Sister. “That is what is wrong with that. How are we going to have our Easter egg hunt outside if there is snow on the ground?” “It won’t last long,” said Poor Mountain Mother, coming into the kitchen after having a cup of coffee. “Are you sure?” asked Poor Mountain Sister. “Positive,” said Poor Mountain Mother. “This is Easter snow.
