OCTOBER 30, 1861

Samantha left the livery stable and headed down the street. Jedidiah rode into town and saw his gal walking down the street. As he rode past her, he swung his horse around and then stopped in front of her. "And where might you be heading this fine day, Miss Samantha?"

"I'm going over to the hotel for lunch."

"May I join you?" He asked.

"I would like that." She smiled. He swung down and walked with her to the hotel, and then he tied his horse to the hitching post, and they went inside.

They were both surprised to see Thaddeus and Joshua there. They went over and greeted them.

"So what are you two doing in Dreamville?" Jedidiah inquired.

"Just passing through." Joshua replied.

"How long you staying?"

"Not long, like I said we're just passing through." he repeated.

"Alright, but if you need a little spending money, just let me know."

"What do you have in mind?" Joshua was curious.

"I need to hire a couple of fellas to get me some turkeys. We're having a Thanksgiving feast at my place, and I don't have time to go turkey hunting myself."

"How much you paying?" the light brown haired cowboy asked.

"Eight dollars a turkey."

Thaddeus and Joshua discussed the issue while having lunch and before leaving they accepted the job offer. They headed over to the general store, but if Joshua or Thaddeus had turned around and looked across the street, they might have seen a familiar face. For out of Grace's boutique the Davis' family came.

Jewel had purchased four dresses, one for herself, one for her younger sibling, one for the little girl she wanted to adopt, and one for her twin as well. They all gathered in the wagon and headed home. The four new dresses wouldn't be worn until they had their day in court with Judge Wereton in order to adopt Jaslyne. They all waved to Samantha as they passed the livery stable.

Meanwhile back at the Cromwell Mercantile, Joshua and Thaddeus were selecting supplies in order to go turkey hunting. Simon had everything they needed, and after purchasing their items, they went to the stables to get their horses and then they went searching for turkeys.
