After everyone went outside to walk off some of their grand dinner we all enjoyed, I slowly stood up from my seat and headed out the door to see how Johnny was getting along, and if he was causing his grammie any trouble. No sooner then I reached the screen door, Kc came barreling thru it and not only knocked me again on my ass, but this time she fell down in my lap with me...I wanted to say something, but all I could do was laugh and try to hold my head up with my arm. Kc sat there in the floor with me for a moment wondering what her problem was with always running into me like this, but she hopped up and said something has gotta give, either we need to stop running into each other...or just smack each other real hard on the head and tell each other to stop with the very rough greetings.

I slowly got to my feet and told her that something higher was at work here, and there was no way this could keep happening to me with her every time. Kc gave me a smile and asked me if I'd help her bring out the lemonade and glasses from the kitchen. I cleared my throat and said I would, as long as I don't get hit with anymore doors...at least for the rest of the day. She giggled at me the entire way to the kitchen then just to make sure I didn't get hit with any doors she held them wide open for me. I took the tray with the pitcher of lemonade and she carried the glasses, after I sat it down on the table I looked around to see where Johnny was...mom told me not to fuss over him, that he was with Costa playing with Houdini under the apple tree next to the pond...and that she just got tired of the long walk up and down the hill, she had Stoney help her back to the porch, then he went off with Rachel in her mustang.

Kim was sitting on the bottom step having a very nice conversation with JD, and flirting with him rather heavily...which kind of made me smile, because ever since Lynn's death he hasn't been in the relationship grove at all, but at least for now he was smiling and laughing again. Sandy was sitting beside Kc and my mom sipping lemonade and talking about everything from books, animals, movies, and music. I was very shocked and impressed when she said some of her favorite musicians were, because they were my favorites as well. I didn't interrupt the girls' chatting, but I did just stand there leaning against the porch post and listened intently to what Kc had to say on all of it. I almost fell backward when she said her favorite childhood movie was The Wizard of Oz, then I actually looked over at her when she said her favorite character was Scarecrow.

My mom smiled over at me, that's when I realized my mom wasn't just merely talking for conversation, she was baiting me to get interested in Kc, by her helping me learn about her likes and dislikes thru conversation. I gave her a blush as my head lowered, letting her know that I caught on to what she was trying to do...then she piped up and told Kc that my favorite movie was The Wizard of Oz too, and that I loved the scarecrow so much when I was little that I dressed up as him for Halloween almost every year for three years. I looked at my mom and asked her while I was laughing to please not use my childhood as a form of colorful conversation because that was a little embarrassing.

I heard JD whisper a comment to Kim about me and I stepped down behind him and playfully kicked his ass, and told him the best times for him to talk shit about me was when I was not within foot range of him. He turned around and looked up at me and said with a chuckle that doing it when I wasn't around was no fun at all. I gave him a sarcastic laugh, as I looked out and saw Johnny running wildly toward the house with Houdini trying to keep up with his little puppy legs...barking after him as if telling him to wait up for him. I flew down the steps with the feeling that something was wrong, when he made it to my arms his mixed garbled talk along with him being out of breath...he finally got it out about Costa and bee's.

I grabbed hollered for Kc, then I rushed down to where the pond was at, for she knew the directions in case I needed to call 911 my brother was highly allergic to bee stings. I made it to where Costa was lying on the ground trying to cover his head with his arms as I noticed a huge mass of bees surrounding him. I ran into them and picked him up but couldn't get them off of him so I tossed him and me both into the pond...as I held onto him and swiped all the bees I could off of him first ignoring the multiple ones that were stinging the shit out of me. I swam him to the far side of the pond where Kc was racing off after us to meet me and help me get him out.

I laid him down gently and checked him over real good and told her to call the ambulance anyway so he could get treatment before he went into anaphylaxis shock. She quickly dialed and told them her address, then knelt down next to my brother and put her sweater under his head for a pillow...while I was pulling out the stingers from his arms and back. Luckily, none of the bees got to his face, but I tried to keep him as calm as possible until the Emt's could get there and give him an epi-pen shot. 20 minutes later, they were right there checking his vitals as they helped him to the back of the ambulance to administer the shot and to give him some oxygen. Johnny came over to me as I scooped him up and told him that he was such a good boy saving his uncle.
