She was in the kitchen, with Jamie, when there was a tap on the door, and Julie walked in with Katie, "good o on up if you want to," "okay, bye irls there," co to the door, "don't you want a cup of coffee?" I'll have h at the shop, and I'll be in touch, see ya," and she was out the door

And they were in touch often throughout the day, the boys did show up for lunch, boys at their age were always hungry, they phoned Julie froo to the city pool with friends, and she said yes, as long as one of the parents was going to drive them there

At lunch Kevin and Kyle told, Candee that they were going to scout camp the first teeks of July, which would start next week, so they would not be home for their usual Fourth of July picnic

She knew all about this of course from their mother, but she let the boys tell their news and did not let on that she already knew, she did not want to di to camp

After lunch the boys were off to the pool with friends and Marie and Katie went to the playhouse, she took her tay radio, a Christmas present with her and left one with Candee, that way she could coo up to the house

Candee put Jamie down for an afternoon nap, then called the shop to catch up on things with Julie, the last June wedding was this co weekend, and a couple were scheduled for July, but no month was as busy for theirls into women wanted to be June brides, and it seeirls, and Candee told her as soon as she hung up, she was going to take ice tea down to the girls, and check on them When they had finished their conversation, Candee fixed a tray of ice tea and cookies, and took it down to the playhouse The playhouse was the equivalent of the tree house that Starke and Cairly, and sweet, and the tree house more boyish, they even ran electric to it, and installed a ceiling fan in the high ceiling, real s and screens all for ventilation, it was furnished much like a real house in smaller furniture
