A quote: “In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.” ~~ Alex Haley

“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.”
