A quote: “In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.” ~~ Alex Haley
I’ll start with a story …
***************************
“That’s the last plate. Everything washed and put away, dear.”
“Been a quiet Thankgiving now the boys are grown. I kind of miss the chaos.”
“I know, Randall deployed overseas and Ralph a few states away because of career opportunities … but I’m so proud of them.”
“Me, too. Just …. Here, let’s take our wine into the living room and snuggle in front of the fire.”
“Sounds like a plan! Remember, Ralph and family will be here for Christmas. The chaos will return.”
“Well, some of it. It sure has been quiet since the Bumpuses next door moved out.”
***************************
Now, it’s your turn.

Cameron says: My brother and I got to cleaning in the kitchen as the guests chatted animatedly with my parents. We worked quietly to avoid drawing attention to ourselves.
“Why are you doing the cleaning?” came a voice from just outside the kitchen. I turned to face the speaker and smiled.
“It’s fine, my lady. Please don’t trouble yourself-”
She quickly volunteered to help and things were done quickly. She smiled happily. “Your household has been kind to ours. I would be remiss if I didn’t help out in some way.”
The fae are strange but they do love my mother’s cooking.
