CHAPTER FOUR

CHET'S LOOOONG DAY

After breakfast on Tuesday, Jeanette suggested "Hey, Chet, Let's get an early start, ok? I want to look at luggage, too.

Tim, do you want to come or not?"

"Can I go to Grandma Kelly's instead? She wants s to teach me how to be 'Irish'"

Chet laughed to himself and winked at Jeanette, "Sure, son. Grandma is a real good Irish teacher."

So after taking Tim to 'Grandma Kelly's', Chet and Jeanette went to the mall and began shopping.

Their first stop was May Co where Jeanette found a lovely set of luggage, which was to be delivered to their home.

They then went looking for some warm clothing.

They had gone to about three different stores and found clothes, but only one or two sweaters, but no coats.

After the fifth store, Chet was exhausted and unable to trudge from the mall to the car and back anymore. He finally just plopped down on a bench, grousing, "Jeanette! GIVE ME A BREAK! We've been here all day and I'm beat and hungry! Man, there can't be any more stores left. We'll get coats in Boston. C'mon, let's go home! You must be tired, too. I'll call mm and ask her to keep Timmy overnight. Ok?"

Sitting down next to her exhausted man, Jeanette propped her feet up on a few packages and yawned. "Yeah, I am tired. But, Chet, we're not done yet. Do you want to finish up tomorrow?"

'What the hell else do we need? You bought enough formal and informal clothes for both of us
to fill a fire station! And man, you have enough accessories, too. C'MON!"

"No, Chet, not that stuff. We need deodorant, toothpaste, stuff like that.

Are you hungry? Let's go to Sizzler and get something ok, hon?"

Chet pouted a bit more and then said, "Ok. Where are we gonna go for tat other stuff?"

"I was figuring on the supermarket. I have some coupons I want to go through so we can do that tomorrow, Ok?

I'm sorry to have worked you so hard, Chet. Are you sure you are just tired?"
Smiling at his lovely wife, he answered, "Yeah, hon, I'm ok. Just shopped out. Guess I'm a typical man, huh?" And they both laughed.
