Zachary ate the food with relish, though it was not the food as his palate would deem as proper cuisine, he was hungry and could therefore bear the odd tastes and textures.  He looked at the others and admired how beautifully his little girl had grown up.  This was probably going to be the last time they were going to be out here together like this before she went to college and if the Lord approved, found a suitable husband to bear children.  Zachary smiled and reached out to clasp Emma's hand with that thought and looked at her.  He was truly blessed to have such a helpful mate who supported him every step of the way.
