Dan left the service and headed over to his sisters. He had been invited to her home for Sunday dinner. Cindy's husband had planned to put some steaks on the grill, how could he pass that up. He smiled because he knew there was an ulterior motive to his sister’s invite. She knows that Cara and he have been communicating on line. So Cindy has been bombarding him with questions. He also suspects that she must be drilling Cara as well, he knows his sister. He sees his sister's house now on the left and pulls in to her driveway. He spotted Terry in the yard with a ball, and as he got out of his car he waved at his nephew.
“Uncle Dan!"
"Where's, your mom and Dad?"
“They are out back, waiting for you."
"Let me make my appearance and I'll come back and toss you some balls your way." Dan said as he noticed Terry holding a baseball.
"Cool, sure thing Uncle Dan."
Cara had just finished tucking in her twin nine year old boys and settling her teen girls ages thirteen and fifteen down for the night. She sat at her computer and logged onto the net to check her email.
"Hello Cara." He must have seen her log on.
"Hello Dan Just logged on to read my mail."
"Am I bothering you?"
"No, not at all, I was a little surprised you’re on.” She answered.
"Well to be honest, I was only checking my email when I saw you log on and thought I would say hi. How was your day?" He asked.
"We had a sermon on faith at church. It spoke to me. God always knows what we need to hear."
Dan read what she wrote about faith and smiled. I wonder if she is referring to our lunch date? He thought to himself.
"I know what you mean." He typed back to her.
"How was your day?" she asked.
“After church Cindy invited me over for a bar-b-que had a fun time!"
"How nice, she told me that she and Mitch like to give bar- b- ques."
"Boy, do they! Lol." he typed.
"lol, Sounds like you are a close family!"
"I'm sure chatting with Cindy yourself; you can get a picture of how close we are. Lol”
She smiled. "She has spoken quite highly of her family."
Dan yawned and stretched and looked at the time. “Yeah, Cindy and I are close were close in age and grew up more like friends. Well on behalf of you needing to be up early for your kids. I will bid you goodnight."
Cara stifled a yawn. She hadn't realized how late it was. "Ok I'll let you go. I hadn't realized the time till now. Goodnight Dan. God Bless.”
"God Bless you, Cara Goodnight,"
she logged out and stood up and stretched. Then she shut the computer down, walked out shutting off the light. She smiled as she climbed the stairs and headed towards her room. She undressed then showered and pulled on her night gown, Climbed into bed and sent up a prayer to the Lord before she settled to go to sleep.
To Be Continued
