The 13th show. For those who like a little darkness with their humor, Ruth reads from her extended second edition of her book. "There are Lies and There are Lies" is a friendly story of a family buried in snow with a deer. All the group are later reburied together in a cemetery. "The Mortician and the Widow Wick" is a romantic story of two not so pleasing people who fall in "love" by their own rules.

The 12th show. "Just a Stage Coach Ride in the Country" is another of Ruth's stories. This one is about a lady getting sick on the stage and saving the lives of all on the stage. It's kind of funny. And there are Indians.

The 10th show. Ruth reads her story about missing women. Where did they go? Are they still alive? Did someone kill them? And then the story of Baseball. It's a "believe it or not," 'cause Baseball started in 1849.
