He was an eighteen year old aspiring fashion designer taking his core classes at the local community college and working part-time as a waiter. The yo...ngest was Jasmine. The twelve year-old had been a bit of a surprise to the couple. She was as precocious as her older sister and loved tinkering with computers and gadgets. Sarah called out for her c***dren to come out and help them finish prepping for the cookout.Greg received a quick call from Edrick letting him know he would be there around. ‘It was beautiful! Your dad caught a nice steel eye, and we smoked it on the grill.’ He handed her a small bundle of aluminum foil. ‘I brought you back a piece.’ ‘Uncle Chester, what are you doing here at this hour?’ ‘We’re picking grapes.

That's what I want for my birthday."Then she asked me just how she was supposed to go about doing that and I told her I didn't have a clue. I'd never helped her shop for any of my other presents so why should I know how she should go about getting this one.
