he was skinny.
Folding her hands, “Well Seth think it’s warmer now?”
“Feels good, much warmer maw”.
She wished that she could see her little boy’s facial expression.
    However, has not for about a year because of his growing out of control curls.
“Oh I better get dinner, because you’re paw and brothers will be rolling in”.
Quickly, went into the kitchen, starts preparing dinner, while Seth sat on the sofa flipping
through a magazine, as he also wore a flannel shirt and brown corduroy pants like his mother.
In the kitchen where his mother went to get dinner ready, had the same familiar country theme
that surrounded every nook and cranny
From the cow curtains to the checkerboard cabinets and many knick-knacks of farm animals
throughout.
    Setting the long wooden table gave a big smile saying, “Seth son”; I hear the rattle of the truck
pulling in the driveway”.
“Cool maw”, rolling his hidden eyes.
“Oh your brothers and paw are home”, grabbing dinner plates.
Seth smirked about his brothers.
    After setting the plates down onto the table hurried over to the stove swiftly stirring a big spoon
into a kettle that was cooking.
The back door opened and another young boy entered the kitchen, he appeared to be eleven or
twelve-years of age, dressed warmly.
“It’s real cold, freezing out there”, teeth chattered and his mother said,
     
“Well you’re the fourteen-year-old that insisted on going”, as she set napkins onto the table.
    Stood there shaking, she added, “Sebastian go take off all that gear and stand by the heater in
the living room”.
“Sure maw”, now pulling homemade cornbread out of the oven she said, “I just put another log
to the fire.”
With almost a frost bitten face shivered, “Sounds real good maw”, taking off all his outer
clothing then hung his coat up in the laundry room off the kitchen.
    Hurried to the living room, all you could notice was his long golden curls flying back, and also
wore a flannel shirt with baggy blue jeans.
Immediately, went right by the big potbelly stove standing in front of it rubbing his hands
together when his younger brother Seth asked, “Hey kill anything mighty hunters?”
“Man Saul caught a big one”.
“Really!” Seth remarked thrilled with such a big smile.
Laughs out, “Yep will be eating squirrel for months”.
Seth just giggled at his brother who was now warming up?
The kitchen sound loud and the rest of the family comes inside wearing heavy coats bundled
very warmly.
There was an older man that appear to be in his late fifties or even sixty-years of age, he had a
long braid of grayish hair going down his back and had a gray beard too.
    Reached into a pocket of his blue jean overcoat pulling a pouch of chewing tobacco out.
“Brenda our boy Saul here, caught a buck on his first shot, makes the third year in a row”, he
chuckle’s out gleefully.
    Smiling so proud and the two boys stood grinning taking off their heavy clothing and seem to be
around seventeen or eighteen-years of age, both of them.
One shook his long wavy blonde hair and fluffed his short light bangs.
The other boy with real dark hair, black actually, that was cut short with just a thin layer of
bangs stood shivering in a damp flannel shirt and his blue jeans are all wet at the bottom.
    Looking at them frozen practically, “Boys go warm up dinner is almost on”, said Brenda rushing
by the stove.
“Okay maw”, rolling their blue and brown eyes, which you could make out.
    Therefore, headed into the living room going right next to Sebastian their younger brother by
the big black stove, that was blazing and the three of them are warming up now.
“Hey Saul”.
“What Seth?” Eye rolling.
     
“Sebastian told me you got a squirrel”.
    Laughing with Seth shaking his mop of curls and Saul gave such a cocky tone replying, “Sure,

Seth looked back into the magazine mumbling, “Tough guy, you think”. Saul nudged
