The mystery of the chair was solved today. I had planted my tuss on it watching the girls ride their scooters on the road, when a car pulled up with two teenagers. This is a regular occurrence here, even though Cassidy is still in Africa. There is a group of 12 that affectionately call themselves “the cult”. They have spent many hours in my kitchen gobbling down anything that was not nailed down. I have received a few occasional drop in’s since Cassidy has been away, just to check on the status of “Jan Jan”, the sisters and the house. Today, Mitch and Rory showed up with that grin I have been waiting for.. That pleased look as they knew they had done good. These two 17 year olds were out at a garage sale and saw the perfect chair for my step. They dropped it off like it was no big deal. I guess it wasn’t to them, but it was to me. I often hear people talk about how teenagers these days are so unappreciative and self centered. Well, not “my cult”. They are a special breed of teenager, thoughtful and kind. Six days and counting.....Cassidy is home and my world will be right again with a kitchen full of hungry teenagers.
