Bisbee.
Tonight I heard the kids coming into the house and went downstairs to greet them. “Well hey there, you two. What have you been up to?”
“Hi ma...Natalie took me to see Mr. Wulf’s bookstore,” Jimmy said.
“Oh that’s great! Did you see Alex and Aly while you were out that way too?” I asked.
“Nah, they weren’t home,” Nat shook her head.
“Did you stop by the orphanage? Miss Abi served up rabbit stew,” Thomas asked, walking down in a bathrobe.
“We sure did, and it was good. Miss Abi is a good cook,” Jimmy said.
“Well, at least they get fed somewhere even if they don’t eat our food, eh dear?” I asked, looking at Thomas with a grin.
“Aw ma, it’s just fun to see em all there at the orphn’age. We only had a bit of stew and we even washed our dishes up!” Nat exclaimed.
“Alright, finish that water and then you two go to bed. Natalie and I have our special prayer walk in the morning, right kiddo?” I looked at her.
“Yeah! It’s our special Bible time! Then we go to church in Benson and Bisbee!” Nat nodded excitedly.
“Yeah ma, we only eat a little so not to make Miss Abi feel bad. She was working so hard on some papers she said,” Jimmy said. “Yes ma. Me and Pa gonna go over what he taught in class this morning tomorrow too.”
“Can we wash it tomorrow ma? It was just water,” Nat said and finished her water.
“Yep we sure are…” Thomas went over and hugged Nat and Jimmy and kissed them goodnight.
We said goodnight to the kids and Thomas and I snuggled on the couch. “I’m real proud of you honey. I heard you did great today at school,” I told him.
“Yeah, I think they all liked it. I was shocked so many showed up. Several adults even came,” Thomas said and snuggled me close.
“That’s fantastic, honey. They must have loved you. I’m not ready to go to bed yet... can we cuddle down here for a while, dear?”
“Sure love…”
We cuddled close and continued to relax until we were ready to head upstairs to bed.
