Huntsville Revived #440
As the spring approached summer, the Davis family was excited about their future plans.
“So, how’s graduation committee?” Autumn asked Charles and Delilah.
“So far, so good,” Charles answered, “We have the venue picked. We have the food and music organized. Now it’s just some final details.”
“It’s an indoor venue? I would hate to see rain ruin the event.” Autumn thought back to a few events she had attended in her day, where the weather had proved an issue.
“Indoors, with a bit of outdoor space too, but mostly indoors.” Delilah couldn’t wait, even though the event was still a while off.
“Certainly you two, and the rest of the committee, should be proud of yourselves. It’ll look excellent on your resumes; great for your reputations.” Autumn was very proud of the teens.
“Thank you, Autumn.” Delilah really enjoyed planning this event. She knew the experience would come in handy when she planned her wedding.
“Is making an omelet cooking or baking?” Berlin wanted to know.
“ Urm?” Jason had no idea. “What do you think?” He too had learned that the best response to Berlin’s questions was further questions.
“Most would say it is cooking - there’s no chemistry that is taking place, no yeast or baking soda reacting. But if you get the proportion of eggs to other foods wrong, then it does not cook properly, so there is more precision to it.”
Aurora smiled at her brothers and said nothing. She simply ate her omelet with relish.
“Looking forward to seeing you for dinner tonight,” Justin said as he got off the phone with Margery.
“Margery’s coming over?” Jason asked. She had been coming over more and more, and seemed to be winning over Elle. Jason just loved how happy she made his father, as well as how uncomfortable it made Hunter and Delilah to know they would become step-siblings. Not that that would matter - in a few short months, they would be at university.
“I was filming all afternoon with Ares and Katherine. Helo is helping too.” Elle and her friends spent a lot of time working on their movie, but Justin had seen very few results. Either Ares was too much of a perfectionist, or a bunch of preteens were not capable of quickly making a feature length film. Perhaps it was a bit of both.
“Ares is feeling better these days?” Justin asked.
“He wasn’t sick this week,” Elle replied.
The youngest of the Davis family, Berlin and Aurora, were now old enough to truly start to wonder where they came from. Berlin did a lot of research, while Aurora contemplated the stars.
Spring, Days 4-7 came to a happy conclusion for the Davis family.
