It was only a few weeks now until Christmas and Arnie's wedding. Marty tried her hardest to keep an atmosphere of anticipation for the sake of her family, even though she could not get out from under the heaviness she felt for Ma and her family. Ma was often in her thoughts and prayers. Clark returned home from town one day and hurried into the kitchen, his expression telling Marty he had news. "Yer not gonna believe this. Guess what I just heard." Marty looked up from the small baby gown in which she was making dainty tucks. "Couldn't guess," she said. "What's goin' on now?" "Willie's pa has been so impressed with the West thet he's talked the whole family into goin' out fer a look." "Yer joshin' me," said Marty, laying down her handwork in disbelief. "Not joshin'." "Ya mean they're all movin' out?" "Not movin'. Not yet anyway. They're just goin' on out fer a look-see." "Callie an' the kids, too?" "Yep." 74 "Who's to care fer the farm?"
