Chapter 11
Rea Leaves
I was
awakened by a very excited Jason, “D. Dad, we got an email from Grandma Ginny,
Uncle Lyle and Aunt Evelyn. They are excited that Aunt Rea is going to be home
today.”
I climbed out of bed and went into the bathroom, and he followed me and kept
talking and telling me the news. He wasn’t fazed when I shed by briefs and went
into the shower. I got dressed and joined the others at the kitchen table. We
had just started eating when Rea came in.
She said, “I just came to say goodbye to all you wonderful people.” She hugged
and kissed the guys and shook Eric’s and my hands. “I need to hurry and say
goodbye to the Weavers and the Edmonds and hopefully the Baxters and the
Knights. I’ll see you soon. Jeff, check to see when spring break is for
everyone, and let me know. Here is my address, phone number and email address.
Thanks for everything. Linda, I’ll see you and the gals at 10:00.”
Everyone went their separated ways, as was becoming normal. After lunch, Mrs.
T. and Jeff had the class singing YMCA, The Hokey Pokey and The Funky Chicken.
Nothing exciting happened at work, and Jeff picked up Beau and took him to the
bank and they got the safe deposit box.
Randy Carmichael got the stocks and bonds appraised, and all of a sudden Beau
would have two more million dollars more in his accounts. On the way home, Beau
said, “So what good is all that money going to do me? Now, let’s make sure the
guys are okay.”
Everyone arrived back at the house about the same time. Linda had put a pot
roast in the crock-pot, and we were soon eating. Jason was so excited that
Larry and Lenny were in Ms. Tomlinson’s class. He announced, “We need to get
them to walk to Gigi’s house with us, so they can be in the fourth grade
homework club. Oh, by the way, Tommy, Chrissie gave me a letter for you. I’ll
get it for you after dinner.”
We finished eating and the guys were clearing the table and doing the dishes
while Eric, Linda and I were visiting. The doorbell rang and I answered and
Nancy came in. “Are and Linda and Eric here?” I took her to the kitchen, and
she said, “Eric and Linda, I have some exciting news for you. The closing on
the house is set for Friday at 3:00. After that, it’s yours.”
The guys were all listening to the conversation and Mickey asked, “Does that
mean we are moving out of D. Dad’s house, on Friday?”
Linda held up her hand and said, “Guys, we are going to ask Tyler and his crew
to paint the entire house, before we move in, and then I want the cleaning crew
to make sure everything is spotless when we move in.”
Beau spoke up and said, “Aunt Nancy, Uncle Josh and Uncle Ben are going to be
looking for a house. Let me call them, and then if you have a map of the
Fremont area, we can plot some points and show you where we want to live.”
Beau called Tyler and told him, “Aunt Linda and Uncle Eric want to talk to you,
and I mean now, so get your bottom over here now.” He hung up and called Josh
and Ben and said, “Jason and I are meeting with Aunt Nancy here at D. Dad’s, and
we are going to tell her where we want to live, so you'd better get here to
protect your interests.”
Nancy went and got a map. Beau, Mickey and Jason plotted where all their
friends lived, as well as our house. Josh, Ben, and Mrs. T. arrived and the
guys announced, “Aunt Nancy, this is the area we want to live in.”
Nancy looked at the location and said, “That area is very pricey and the houses
don’t turn over very fast.”
Beau shrugged his shoulders and said, “Uncle Josh, I guess you won’t need to
adopt me. We have to be close to our friends.”
Poor Nancy had no idea what was going on. She said, “Beau, let me do some
checking to see what might be available.”
Before anyone else could say anything Tyler and Kevin came in and said, “Mr. and
Mrs. Smith, Beau said you needed to talk to me.”
“Yes Tyler, I was hoping that you and your crew could paint our house for us
next week.” Linda said.
“We can do that, but the guys get $10.00 per hour, and I bet we can finish ahead
of schedule and do a better job than the so called professional painters, but we
will only be working at night, unless I can get the college guys to help. I’ll
make the arrangements and let you know.” Tyler said.
Eric interceded and said, “Tyler, do whatever you have to do to get it done by
Thursday, and we’ll have the moving company deliver our furniture on Friday.
That way, we have all weekend to get settled.”
Linda said, “Beau, you are in charge of the cleaning crew that Thursday night.
Sammy, you round up some of your friends and shampoo the carpets on Saturday.”
“Oh that reminds me, Beau. Remember it was your idea for you to be the first
case study for the Psych and Counseling classes.” Jeff said. “Let’s go call
Mitch and see if he can pick you up at 9:30 and bring you to the campus. I’ll
tell him that I will meet you at his classroom. Then we can call Denny’s Mother,
and see if she could come a half hour early to help Denny if he needs any help
since she will be coming at 10:00 for Gigi’s therapy.
We’ll get you back in plenty of time for your session with Dr. Jeanne.”
They made the calls and everything was arranged. They had just come back and
sat down and started to get busy when Jason came in, “Jeff, I forgot how to send
an email. Would you please show me how to do it, again?”
The five of us went to the study/bedroom for the lesson. Jason and Beau wrote a
long email to Grandma Ginny, Uncle Lyle and Aunt Evelyn. They had Jeff write
something, then they conned Tommy into writing a short note, and then they
coerced me into writing a couple of comments too. By the time the note was
finished, it was almost two pages long.
Jason and Beau disappeared and Tommy was reading the note that he had received
from his Mother. He started to sob, and he handed the note to Jeff and me. His
mother apologized for even thinking that Tommy had done the things his father
had said he did. She said she had no problem if Tommy had his name changed and
was adopted by me. She closed by saying, “Tommy, no matter what you decide to
do, you will always be my son, and I love you as do your sisters.”
Both Jeff and I had tears in our eyes. The tension was relieved with the return
of Jason and Beau. They each handed me a large manila envelope. Jason said,
“We finally got through all of the cards and notes D. Dad. Will you please put
this in the bank for us, tomorrow?”
Beau said, “Put the money into our Education Fund Accounts please. Now we have
to do the hard task, especially Jason. He has to write a gazillion thank you
notes.”
Jeff said, “I’ll tell you what, guys. We’ll go print up a Thank You note on the
computer, and that will save a bunch of time and maybe Tommy and I can even help
you address the envelopes. I’ll bet we can get them knocked out in two nights,
if we try.”
Linda got up and motioned for Beau to follow her. They left and Beau came back
and retrieved his envelope and left. Jeff and Jason went to design the note.
Beau returned, after a half hour and handed me his envelope back again and went
to find Jeff and Jason.
Finally everyone had gone to bed, except for Jeff, who was sitting in the
bedroom studying and making notes. I just sat beside him and read. When he
finished, we went to take a shower. Jeff closed and locked the door. We took a
long wonderful shower and when we were finished; Jeff pulled me close and kissed
me tenderly, and then whispered, “Daddy, I have been a bad boy. I haven’t taken
any man vitamins for so long. Please take care of the problem.”
He turned and bent over and put his hands on the wall. I slowly started to
penetrate him, and I could tell he was having some pain. He kept pushing back,
until I was fully inside him. When he was ready, he started to move and I
reciprocated. I leaned forward and kissed him and said, “I would rather do this
face to face my dear sweet boy.”
“I know Dad, but there are just too many people around right now so we have to
take what we can get.” Jeff said.
Jeff began to erupt and I followed. When I pulled out he turned to me and said,
“Dad, it will be so nice to have some private time again sometime. I love you.
We got out and Jeff made sure the shower was spotless. We crawled into bed
naked, and were both almost instantly asleep.
To be continued...
Editor's Notes:
Has anyone besides me noticed that a lot of these chapters seem to end with people going to bed?
Slowly but surely people are moving out of the house, leaving Jack and Jeff with fewer people hanging around to interrupt their love making.
