really feel that she wanted to be closer to the actions involving her family.
Brendan was packing to go to Michigan with Tom to learn the dairy and cattle business. He has to learn the basics, in other words, what it takes to run this kind of business. Tom, who is single, was delighted to learn that someone in the family wants to be part of his life. They both wanted to visit Barbra before leaving. She was so excited but somewhat apprehensive about her first meeting with this surprise relative. Meanwhile, Jack was angry and “fit to be tied” with all these latest developments. He was basically acting like a “green-eyed monster!”—Well it all boils down to losing his grip on his family.
One morning, Jack left the house abruptly without checking on his wife, Nan. She was in the kitchen making breakfast with her usual cocktail nearby. She liked to have a little “nip” during the day. That’s her get-up and go-to vitamin. Nan was in one of her moods when all of a sudden, she saw smoke coming from the kitchen. The wall above the stove was in flames. She ran frantically, screaming from the house. A neighbor walking his dog saw the smoke and called the local fire department. After the fire was extinguished, a fireman noticed an opening in the charred remains of the stairs behind a crumbled wall. When the area cooled off the cave-like room, they noticed an old dusty chest. They pried open the wooden chest that was not damaged by the fire. Inside they found artifacts dating back to the Civil War.
