He walked over to them and sat down next to Sam. They talk and laugh for half an hour before they all went inside since it was almost lunchtime. Sam and Tracey went to dish up lunch and put everything on the table then they brought out one of the turkeys so Phillip could cut a bit off.

Then they took it back into the kitchen where Sam finish cutting it up while Tracey took two serving dishes full of turkey and stuffing out and put them on the dining room table then she return back to the kitchen.

Couple of minutes later She and Sam walked out again and put the last of the dishes on the table before sitting down. They hold on to each other's hands while Phillip said grace then they all help themselves. Sam leaned over towards Jack and whisper

"Save some room for desert" then she put some candy yams on to her plate and passes the dish to Jack

"Sure" he said back, they all enjoyed their lunch. When finish they all sat back patting their stomachs

"Sam, Tracey that was a great meal" Philip said

"Thanks I hope you all got room for dessert"

"Oh what did you make Sam?"

"You will see, while our main cause is settling down who want to help me take these dishes in the kitchen"

She stood up and started to gather the dishes then Tracey and Jack help take everything into the kitchen.

Fifteen minutes later they walk out carrying a twenty-inch round cheesecake in their hands. Sam made up a chocolate moose, vanilla with blue jello on top and a pink raspberry with red jello on top. When they were put on the table, all their eyes widen when they saw them. Once they were seated

"Help yourselves" Sam said

So the parents took care of the kids first then they dish their own up. Sam got the blue jello cheesecake on her plate and Jack got chocolate one on his. They both shared each others cheese cake. When finish, Sam got a small slice of the raspberry one where she and Jack sheared it between them. When it was all gone they all sat back patting their stomachs.

"Who made the desert?" one of the women asked

"Sam did and that was delicious Sam, thanks for making them"

"Your welcome auntie"

"Sam that was great" Jack said and he gave her a kiss

"Mmm raspberry my favourite" Sam lean against his shoulder since he got his arm drape across the back of her chair with a grin on her face

"Thanks, I just love to cook but I don't get much of a chance with my studies and work, but when I do well you saw what has been made"

"Jack you got yourself a good cook there"

"Thank and she said she doesn't get much of a chance, when she does, she does" he kiss the top of he head.

"I don't know about you guys but I'm going for a walk over to the stables" Sam said and she stood up from the table

"I'll come with you Sam"

"I'll be fine Jack, any way remember the bet" she said smiling

"Yeah, I remember," he said trying to give her the puppy eye look

"Good" she gives him a kiss

"So who wants to come and see the new Carter foil, it was born this morning"

"Me" the young kids said

"Sure while not," one of the women said so they all got up leaving Tracey, Jack and Phillip at the table. They all walk out side talking.

"Well Phillip we might as well get started" Jack said standing up

"I'll go and see the new foal myself, I'll leave you two alone and Jack no powers, the maid is still in the house"

"Damn" she smiled and walked over and gave Phillip a kiss

"Have fun" then she walked out leaving them to it

"Might as well get started" Phillip said as she stood up

"Yep then we can sit down and watch football"

"Yeah I better make sure there is beer in the fridge"

"Good idea" they walk into the kitchen with plates in hand, Phillip went and open the fridge door

"Someone remember the beer" jack turned around and look to see the beer and sodas in the fridge

"Who do you think did that?" he turn to Jack as he close the fridge door

"Sam"

"She does it at home as well, if there is none in the main fridge, guarantee there some in the beer fridge in the games room" Phillip smile

"She always five steps ahead of everyone, she sure knows what she is doing"

"True" they talk while doing the dishes and cleaning up.

When Sam showed the others the new foal, they all smile when they saw it having it feed from it mother.

"Any ideas if it a mare?"

"Don't know I'll have a look" Sam open the door and step in and close it. The mother turned to Sam

"Easy girl, I'm not going to hurt your baby"

Sam looks into the horse eye and she put her hand out slowly and she sniffs it. Then Sam moved around to where the foal is. The mother watches Sam every move, when Sam lifted the foal tail she bend over and have a look then she straighten up and let go of the tail, then she step closer as the foal finish it feed and turn it head to see Sam looking at her. Sam steps closer and strokes the baby

"Hello, there we will have to find a name for you, won't we"

Then the foal moved around to the other side of it mother and looked up to see others looking at it. Sam walked back the way she came till she got to the door and unlock it and open it and step out and close it and lock it then she walked over and fill bucket up with water then she got a smaller bucket and fill it with oats. Then she return and open the door and walk in with Tracey closing it and watch Sam walk over and fill the main feeder up with oats

"Can someone get some hay, they're none here"

"Where is the hay?"

"Down in the end stall, just grab an arm full"

Then Tracey went down to get what Sam asked for. While Tracey was doing that, Sam fill the water troff up with water for the horse. The mother walk over and started drinking

"You must be thirsty girl, I'll go and get some more for you" she turned and walked back to the door

"Here Sam"

"Thanks" she drops the bucket over the door then take the hay from Tracey

"Can you fill the bucket with water please, I don't think she had anything to drink since yesterday"

"Sure"

Sam walked over and put the hay in the hay feeder then walk back over to the door. Tracey pass Sam the bucket of water over

"Thanks" Sam walked back over and careful fill the water troff up again.

"There you are" she put her fingers onto the horse's neck and then started stroking it. The mother was too busy drinking, then she ate some oaks and hay. Sam could tell she was happy that she ate and drank some water. Then she walked back to the door and out and closes it and locks it.

"She looks happy now" Tracey said

"Yes she does alright"

"If there was an easy way to get water to them so they don't run out and save time for the workers also"

"I'm sure there is" they talk while looking at them, then they look at the other horses while talking.

When they return back to the house Jack and Phillip were watching football so the men went to join them while the ladies walk outside and sat down and talk while the kids play. When the game was over, the men walk out side to join them.

That night they all had a light dinner while talking and laughing. The families left since it was almost the kids' bedtime. After they were gone, the four of them were outside since it was still a warm night.

"Sam I forgot to ask what was the foal?"

"A mare"

"Well any ideas for a name for her?"

"Hope"

"Hope"

"Yes Carlos told me this morning that the vets said that the foal will be born dead, but she proved them wrong"

"That true, hope I like it" Phillip said

They talk for the next hour then they all went to bed since it has been a long day for them all. The next morning Sam was over at the stables looking over everything till Carlos walk over to her

"Morning Samantha"

"Morning Carlos, can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Where did these pipes come from?" she pointed to the water pipes that is connected to the tap

"They were brought a long time ago, why?"

"I had an idea this morning" then Phillip walk in and over to them

"Morning, Sam, Carlos"

"Morning Uncle Philip

"Morning Phillip"

"Any problems?"

"None this morning"

"Uncle Phillip I've been thinking about and idea with the water pipe line for the horses stall"

"Oh I thought of it a few years ago but I ended up with problems, why what did you have in mind" sam smile, then she told them her idea and show then in one of the empty stalls where the pipe could go, every thing

"Great plan but what if their only two horses, in here?" Sam smile then they walk outside the stall

"Where the pip would be here that lead up into the troff it will have a cut off tap till you have a horse in there"

"Sam that is a great idea, Carlos you're going into town today?"

"Yes, this morning"

"Ok do you think you can get what Sam suggested?"

"Yes I can"

"Good, then on Monday morning we can get started on it" he nodded

"Well Sam you sure got some great ideas"

"Thanks" They talk for a few minutes before Sam and Phillip walk back to the house for some breakfast.

They went to wash up before walking into the kitchen to see Jack, Mark and Tracey talking while eating breakfast. They said their good morning while getting their breakfast they all talk for half an hour then they went into town to do some shopping and have some lunch then they return and had a relaxing afternoon.
