[1] Did you hear the radio this morning?

Labor Day Weekend brings the celebration of Milly and Ronnie's anniversary, so the entire Cox family was invited out to the farm for grilling and an afternoon of relaxing and celebrating Grandpa and Grandma Cox's life together. Hugh and Marceline had discussed telling her family and decided that this would be a perfect opportunity to share the news of their engagement. Marceline has not worn her ring since she has been back, as she has not wanted to accidentally give anything away to customers or around town, if anyone was looking.

They arrived around the time that had been given them with several salads that Hugh had put together and a ring on Marceline's finger that had not existed there before. In typical Marceline fashion, she went to grab a beer and used this as an opportunity to show off that ring, turning to the person nearest her, and announcing off-handedly: "So I'm engaged now."

The moment they arrived, Grandma Cox's eyes zeroed in on the engagement ring because she has discreetly been checking Marce's hand for AWHILE now. Her eyes bugged a little, but then she quickly glanced away in any direction but the engagement ring and got a little too enthusiastic about Hugh's salads. It was a huge relief to her that she did not have to wait long for the announcement, and she spilled one of Hugh's salads, dropping it on the table to go hug Marceline. She hugged Marceline and then she hugged Hugh. Her eyes were a little teary because now ALL her granddaughters have found their Ronald. She thought this was the best possible day they could have made the announcement and is already plotting their wedding quilt. Once the announcement and reactions were over, Milly thought this had become the perfect time to bust out the good liquor, add some music and dancing, and make this an even bigger celebration.

Having talked to Hugh earlier, Ronnie was not surprised by this announcement, but was glad that it was now official, and he took some cigars out after the announcement to congratulate them. Clea was super happy and supportive of her sister's engagement.

WHO: Hugh Christian & Marceline Cox
WHEN: Thursday, August 23 & Friday, August 24
WHERE: Treehouse Point, Burl Treehouse.
SUMMARY: Hugh planned a romantic getaway better suited for 76 degrees than 96 degrees, but he will make it work.
WARNINGS: I can't think of any.

( I'd be careful of the coffin. )

Today at around 11:30 a.m., MARCELINE COX and HUGH CHRISTIAN received frantic phone calls from Milly Cox. If they did not answer, she would leave them voicemails to CALL HER BACK IMMEDIATELY. IT IS AN EMERGENCY.

If they picked up, they would have received the message that Milly is completely out of ARNICA!! She desperately needs to create an ointment for one of the horses, but Milly's arnica supply has completely run out. She cannot make the remedy without it. Milly knows where there is some growing in the woods, but she's so swamped that she cannot go out and get it herself. IT IS AN EMERGENCY! PLEASE DROP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HELP. SHE CAN GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS TO GET THERE. IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE AN HOUR.

If they followed Milly's directions to the spot in the woods where the arnica grows, instead of finding Milly's herbs, they'd come to a nice clearing. A big quilt has been spread across the ground and there's a picnic basket stuffed with food and a music player nestled on top of it.

Well that auction was something, wasnt it?
