probably right. I sure would like to see the rest of the house. Did you check out the bathroom down the hall? And the view out my window is awesome. You can look out over the mountains. I am gonna at least take some pictures of our rooms and the view. Nobody will believe this without proof.”
         Just as Seanna got her camera out of her purse, there was a soft knock on the door.
         “Come in”, said both girls at once.
         Trisha came in and took a seat on the bed right along with Samantha and Seanna.
         “I am here to invite you to a movie and snacks in our video room,” said Trish a. “But if you are feeling too tired and just want to rest that’s ok too. They are just some old Three Stooges movies. It’s kind of a tradition here.”
         “You show all your guests Three Stooges movies?” asked Seanna with a bemused look on her face.
         “No,” laughed Trisha. “You’re actually our first visitors we’ve had, except Daffyd’s nephew Bryce. I guess I should tell you about Daffyd, my boss, then you’ll understand. He has stage four Hodgkin’s lymphoma which is a fancy name for a real bad form of cancer. He has been fighting it for two years. He gets a little better, has even been in a full remission, only to have it crop back up. He was actually on his way home from a chemo session today when they picked you up. So the tradition is that every treatment day we all put on our pajamas, so Daffyd doesn’t feel left out, he lives in his now days, and watch his old Three Stooges movies. He says it’s so that we will all ‘laugh until our guts hurt’, he doesn’t want us ‘to feel left out’. It cheers him up and we do whatever we can to keep him happy.”
         “So is that why he didn’t let us see him in the limo?” asked Samantha.
         “He does look pretty rough and he doesn’t like people to see him this way. His privacy is very important to him, so I am not at liberty to say much more. He is a real nice guy who is in a real hard spot. But between you and me, Leal and I think it is right where God wants him.”
         “I think we should join them . What do you think, Mom?” asked Seanna.
         “If he would be uncomfortable, maybe we shouldn’t,” hedged Samantha.
         “Sometimes being uncomfortable is what makes us change. I think it would be good for him. God knows , Leal and I would love the company. It’s pretty quiet when Bryce isn’t here,” said Trisha.
         “That’s the nephew you were talking about?” asked Seanna.
         “Yep, since his parents died he’s here during breaks from law school. He’s a great kid. You just missed him by a few days. He stops to visit Daffyd’s parents for a couple of weeks before he comes here,” Trisha replied. “So what do you say? Snacks and some corny movies?”
         Samantha looked at her daughter, who look ed back with her ‘please, Mom’ look.
         “Sure, we’ll come. But what was that about pajamas?” asked Samantha.
         “Well I guess you would be forgiven if you didn’t, but Leal and I wear ours and when Bryce is here he always wears some crazy ones to make his uncle laugh. It’s totally up to you. Just come down to the kitchen in about an hour. I’ll be putting together some eats and will show you to the media room.” Trisha popped up off the bed and said as she left, “its nice having you here, even if it is just one night.”
         “Well , I for one, do not have pajamas fit for company. All my flannels are at home. I have been sleeping in my summer stuff that is way too skimpy for public,” stated Samantha.
         “I’ll just wear one of my tank tops and shorts, that’s my summer sleepwear,” Seanna said.
         “I guess I do have a few tanks…do you think its ok for me to be in public in my pajamas?”
         “First off, you’re talking like you’re an old lady. Secondly, we’re not in public . We are in
