"Harmony! Get here right this second." A golden retriever puppy with golden brown eyes and a mischievous look barked into the room. Jessi Ramsey nervously brushed her long black hair behind her ear. Jessi gracefully sat down next to Harmony and laid her head on his fur. "I'm so nervous… I haven't seen these girls in ten years, well… except for Mallory and Dawn. She and I talk and email all the time. Oh… what am I gonna do!" Jessi stood up with a start. "What am I gonna serve them?" Jessi bustled into her small kitchen and came back with a box of Saltines, a half-empty bottle of apple juice, and three quarters of a pineapple. She made herself busy, pouring the apple juice into a smaller bottle; slicing the pineapple into chunks; and spreading the saltines on a crystal tray. She stood back to admire her work when her fiancé, Paul Sidney entered the room. He put his arms around her waist and they embraced for a second. She turned to gaze at his perfect face: huge, crystal green eyes; light brown skin, and curly golden brown hair. He, in turn gazed into her beautiful face: long jet-black hair, light brown skin, and magnificent brown eyes. They heard the screech of tires and a hot-tempered voice yell with a slight British accent, "You brogue! Never cheat a Yiddish woman!" Jessi threw her head back and laughed a deep chuckle. "That'll be Abby." Jessi rushed to the door where a woman with shoulder-length black curls and brown eyes with a fierce look held the hands of two little girls. "Ab!" Jessi cried, throwing her arms out to hug her friend. Abby's fierce look softened as she threw herself into the hug. Abby pulled away. "And these are my twin girls, Louisa Belen and Natalie Maria. Sorry, their nanny couldn't stay for a week." Jessi smiled. "Oh, Abby! It's okay! Stacey has a kid the same age. Oh! And my little cousins will be here. So where are you staying? I've got plenty of guest rooms. And the carriage house has about three apartments. Becca, Charlotte, Dawn, and William will also be staying here. Plus, my Aunt Cecilia and her new husband, Robert and her grandkids. There's plenty of room." Abby gave Jessi an enormous hug. "Thanks Jess. Do ya really mean it?" "Of course! The more the merrier!" Jessi ran into the kitchen and emerged with a pad. "Let's see…. Becca and Charlotte are staying in the Flower Room upstairs, Dawn and William have the apartment on the top floor of the carriage house, Aunt Cecilia and Robert have the Red Room downstairs, Her grandkids, Gordon, Elliot, Francesca, and Dana are sharing the bunk beds in the basement. Hey! If you like, Louisa and Natalie could sleep in bunk beds down there too!" Abby looked at her kids. "Really?" Louisa cried. "We've never slept in bunk beds before! Cool! We wanna sleep down there!" Jessi smiled and added them to the list. "Abby! How would you like to have the middle carriage house apartment?" Abby smiled. "Perfect!"she said.
