Tracy Island, Saturday, March 31

Cherie wandered into the kitchen to see what her grandmother was doing.

"Hello, Cherie, love. Do you want to help?" Emily asked.

"As a matter of fact, Grandma, I ... well .... we, that is Tyler and Alex and me, we were thinking that we would like to help prepare a special meal for when Callie and John return."

"That's a very good idea! What did you have in mind?"

"Well, John will be easy; he likes steak, corn on the cob, and of course your apple pie. Callie likes okra." Here Cherie hesitated. "I know what it is, but it may be kind of difficult to get it here, and I haven't a clue how you use it."

"Mm, okra," Emily thought for a moment. "I wonder? Well, honey, you leave that to me. Tell Tyler and Alex that they can both help, but I don't want any fooling around."

"Thanks, Grandma!" Cherie left to find her brothers.

"Okay," Cherie told her siblings with a serious face. "Grandma says you can help, but this is serious. No fooling around."

"Aw, Cherie!" Tyler looked at his sister. "We won't fool around, honest! We really want to make this a special homecoming."

"Okay, then. This will be the menu." Cherie outlined what she and Emily had talked about.

"Okra! Yuck, I hate it," Alex said, making a face.

"Well, Callie likes it," Cherie retorted, "and we are cooking for her homecoming."

Meanwhile Emily had been talking to Kyrano.

"Okra is not a problem, Mrs. Tracy, I have some okra in the freezer and I know one or two recipes to make with it."

That afternoon, Cherie and her brothers were standing in the kitchen with Emily and Kyrano.

"Now you three, for dinner when Callie and John return, there will be steak, baked potato, corn on the cob, chicken gumbo and a special vegetarian dish for Dominic and Kat, followed by apple pie a la mode," Emily explained. "So on the day that they return, I want you three here nice and early, so that everything can be prepared on time."

All three nodded their heads.

"I can't wait to see John and Callie's faces when we tell them that we have prepared their meal," Tyler said.

Later that evening, Cherie approached Virgil. "Virgil?" Cherie asked her older brother. "Could you help me? I want to do something special for when Callie returns."

"Sure, Cherie, what have you in mind?"

Cherie whispered, and Virgil nodded. "But keep it a secret.," she added.

Virgil followed her and her brothers into her bedroom. For the next half an hour all four were painting, until Cherie held it up.

Welcome home John and Callie

The banner was safely hidden away, and the three giggling children headed back into the lounge.

"What are you three up to?" Gordon asked.

"It's a surprise," was all that Cherie would tell him.
