Chapter Six


CHAPTER SIX

Cindy prepared a delicious breakfast for her guests.  The M. family chickens provided the eggs that were scrambled to perfection.  Singing acapella, in perfect harmony and without giving each other their beginning note, Caitlyn and Julianna provided the breakfast serenade.  All was perfect to begin the cousins’ last day of their remarkable road trip. 

After chatting with the sweet M. ladies, Susan and Natalie began the final leg of their journey—a return to Washington, DC.  The conversation was steady as was the traffic.  They pulled into Susan’s driveway in the early afternoon and unloaded the car.  Natalie was happy to finally be a guest in Susan’s home!

They lunched at Baja Fresh and did a bit of grocery shopping for the evening meal.  Susan had a work commitment for the rest of the afternoon and evening.  Natalie prepared dinner for Joe and Daniel, and enjoyed talking with the guys during and after the meal.  It was a relaxing evening for Natalie, but not quite as relaxing for Susan as she was back on the job.

The GONE WITH THE WIND road trip had ended.  The memories will live on for these two cousins who had such a great time together.
