Hi Daddy, the girls said in unison, Starke patted Marie on the head and said, "Hi Sweetie," "did 'ja catch a lot of fish?" Piped up Marie, "yes we sure did honey," then Starke and Cam walked over to their wives and gave each a kiss.
Come on Cam, I'll grab a beer for us and we'd better get to cleaning fish, as he headed into the house and Cam headed around the side again to the garage, "okay meet you in the garage."
"Well I guess that tells us a couple things," Candee said to Julie, one they caught some fish, and two we'll have to wait awhile to hear about their adventure today. Marie ask then, "Mom, Aunt Julie, okay if Katie and I go up to my room until it's time to eat?" both women said yes, of course, we'll call you girls, when daddy fires up the grill, okay? Okay mom, thanks.
Candee's cell phone rang just then, she answered and Julie heard her say "oh, hi mom" she knew it was Anne and then the usual yes, no's etc. then she heard, we'd love it if you'd come by for a casual dinner, we'll be having grilled fish, the guy's were fishing today, and we'll all be here, yes, around five would be perfect, see you then."
When she had closed her phone, Julie commented," have you noticed that Anne walks slower lately and more guarded?" "Yes, I have but of course you know she has hit seventy years old now, and considering that, she's doing quite well, the only real medical condition has been having cataracts removed, we'll all just keep an eye on her, as she ages gracefully, and hope she has many more years with us." "Amen to that!"
When the men had finished with cleaning the fish, Starke put them in the refrigerator, and Cameron took some and went home for a shower, after telling Julie, that he'd be back soon, and then Starke went upstairs to do the same.
The women decided to roll the carriage with the napping baby into the kitchen, so they could scrub potatoes for baking on the grill, and also to fix a nice big salad. As Candee opened the frig. She noticed that there was a plate piled high with nice white fish filets. "Well they certainly had successful day of fishing," Julie walked over to take a look," Wow I'd say so!"
Jamie was waking up then, they heard him cooing and making baby sounds, just as Starke walked into the kitchen, Candee dried her hands and started for the carriage and he said, "no, keep doing what you're doing I'll tend to boy, he scooped him up and said to him, time for change young man," and wisk him away to the nursery up stairs.
