It’s a bright autumn morning that consists of brilliant colors, crisp leaves that crunch beneath my feet and the air just cool enough for a light jacket. The holidays are finally here and saying that I am absolutely thrilled would be an understatement. It is my favorite time of year! My stomach begins to growl with hunger in anticipation of what tomorrow will bring. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I realize a feast is in store for me. The air mattress I have been sleeping on is very comfortable which makes it extra difficult to open my eyes.

The small talk in the kitchen wanders to the local cemetery. Despite my latest injuries, I decide to go with the clan to observe it. We huddle up in the relatively small trailer attached to the four wheeler and proceed to the cemetery that is parallel to the church. I begin to pace around the grave, careful not to step on the head stones, since I’ve heard it’s seven years of bad luck or something similar to that. Eventually, we arrive back to the entrance of the ranch and I notice a flare in the near distance, directly in front of the storage building. The sun is beginning to set behind the rust-colored trees and Gage finally has the fire going, containing vibrant flames and a plethora of sticks. Danny puts together an old speaker and connects it to his phone where he plays my favorite song by Cody Johnson. The stars become more visible and as the fire starts to slowly burn out, my friends and I proceed back inside to the command of Nina’s
