We fished for an hour. Uncle Tom caught a sunfish the size of a wallet and kissed it before throwing it back. Dad caught nothing but a waterlogged branch. I caught a boot. An actual, honest-to-goodness boot. It was brown, crusted with mud, and had a hole in the toe.

As we headed downstairs to the kitchen, I could smell the delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee and pancakes wafting through the air. Dad was busy making breakfast, and Uncle Tom was already seated at the table, sipping his coffee and chatting with Dad.
