set about making their lunch of tuna melts and homemade tomato soup.
    “ Kenna , I heard Mary Lu called this morning about a barbeque Saturday. Do you feel like going, it seems like it might be fun and they have a huge hot tub now, too? ”
    “I guess if you want to go dad. I can always walk home if I need to.”
    “Honey, we live two miles away, that’s a little bit of a walk in the dark. If you want to come home, we’ll all come home. Won’t we Carson?”
    “Why, do I need to come home, just because…Owwww.”
    My dad shot Carson a dirty look, after he had kicked him under the table from the sounds of it. What was that all about?
    So honey, can you do me a favor and call Mary Lu and tell her we would be happy to come. Ask her, what we can bring and find out what time she wants us there, so I can make sure we’re done with chores by then.
    Okay, and remember dad, don’t forget your swimming trunks?
    I started laughing and got up to clear the table. But the laugh was on me, when he said.
    “I don’t need to remember my swimming trunks, I have a pair already over there.”
    I looked at Carson and he was trying not to laugh.
    “Why would you have your swimming trunks already over at the Walkers?”
    “Because sweetie, I go over there and use the hot tub two or three times a week.”
    I just looked at him, through confused squinted eyes.
    “Just because, I’m going bald and my middle has gotten bigger, doesn’t mean your father doesn’t have a social life. Your mother God rest her soul, has been gone for sixteen years. William Walker has been gone ten. Mary Lu and I like each other’s company.”
    I looked at Carson and he just shrugged his shoulders.
    “You know Carson, you could have mentioned this.”
    Sis, you’ve had enough on your plate lately.
    Dad got up from the table walked over and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
    “Thanks for the lunch, honey. It was a whole lot better than what your brother would have fixed.”
    Then he was out the door. Carson got up and started for the door. He turned and looked at me.
    “It’s nice to have you home Kenna , I was really tired of listening to dad complain about my cooking.”
    He gave me a wink and then he was strolling out the door to help dad with the morning chores.

    “What can I do to help you get ready for the barbeque, mom? I‘ve got Jesse and Josh out in the back yard right now, setting up the picnic tables. Can I help with the potato salad or something? Maybe get the hot tub ready to use?”
    “Why don’t you go and see how many paper plates we have. I’m sorry, but I might need to send you to town for a few things.”
    I went to the pantry and checked over how many paper plates, disposable cups and paper napkins we had. There wasn’t near enough. I walked back out to mom to give her the inventory update.
    “Mom, we need a lot of things, paper plates, cups, napkins and it would be a good idea to get a couple more bags of ice.”
    “Wyatt would you mind going to the store for me? I should have had you do this yesterday, when you went into town, I’m sorry.”
    “No problem mom, just write me a list.”
    As she was writing out the list the doorbell rang. I walked to the front door and opened it to find Jack and Kenna . Hmm, where was Carson?
    “Hello Wyatt, Carson has a few more chores to do, but he said he would be here in about an hour.”
    I barely heard Jack speak, because I couldn’t take my eyes off of Kenna in her daisy dukes and tight t-shirt. I gave my head a little shake to clear it and invited them in.
    “Mom’s in the kitchen, writing me out a shopping list.”
    Jack hurried passed me on his way to the kitchen. Kenna and I followed him at a more reasonable pace. Jack was just bending down giving mom a kiss when we enter the room. That’s something, I haven’t gotten use yet and if the expression on Kenna ’s face was any clue, she felt the same way. Mom picked up the shopping list, went over to her purse, and
