Montana Saga Chapter 6

While Rya's family continued to talk amongst each other in praise

of her, Natalie asked for Rya's aunt Georgene Roman and Zach to

follow her. She went to the into the living room where she got her

long circular tube that was leaning against the couch. The three of

them sat down on the couch. Natalie opened the canister and pulled

out the plans and blueprints for Rya's fiber ranch, healing and wellness

center and replanting program for the herbs, plants and flowers from

both North Dakota and Montana that she'll be using to create massage

oils and lotions and spread them out on the coffee table.

Those lotions and massage oils would be used as part of the healing

process of the clients of the future healing and wellness center Rya

would be building. Her trinity of healing. Not just for the people in her

city and state, but for Montana as well.

"Holy cow Natalie! " Roman and Zach exclaimed in unison, "You and Rya

put a whole lot of thought into this endeavor! It's quite a vision you've both

laid out." Roman stated , impressed with the vision laid out before them.

"Oh, I didn't come up with this layout, this is all Rya's vision, I'm the best friend

and partner that's here to support her and help her take this vision from paper

to a 3-D reality that will be able to help thousands of people in a way that she wasn't

able to be helped when she was a kiddo."

"WOOOW!" Rya's Aunt Georgene exclaimed with pride. "my niece took everything

to heart and into consideration for her future clients! Now, these are the artist

renderings of what the buildings will look like, where are the actual floor plans

for the ranch and wellness center?" Aunt Georgene inquired.

While at the kitchen table, Rya's family continues to fill Henry an Harrison in

on their niece and granddaughter's skillset.

"Our granddaughter didn't complain, didn't ask for a handout. She put her boots

on and outworked men twice her age. If she says she can master ranch finances,

you can take that to the bank. The Steahl women don't back down from a

challenge."

Dale nods in agreement crossing his arms with a confident grin.

"Zach and Roman both better take notes. When Rya took over our

office bookkeeping at 15, she found a six-figure leak in our equipment line that

our professional bookkeepers missed. She may look at things through a "whole

animal" lens, but she runs a business with a steel trap.

The voices coming from Henry's living room were became louder as Rya's

Aunt Georgene, Natalie, Zach, and Roman were celebrating the drawings of

the fiber ranch and her healing and wellness center capturing the attention

of her and her family seated in the kitchen.

Harrison's technical mind sparked with curiosity as the voices of Rya's

Aunt Georgene, Rya's best friend Natalie Bloodstone, his son Zach and

Henry's son Roman became louder. Finally, Harrison Grant stood up

from his seat and said, "I don't know about the rest of you, but I have GOT

to find out what they're celebrating. Anyone else interested in coming along?"

The family got up from their seats and proceeded to follow Harrison to the

living room. Just before crossing its threshold Harrison turns to Henry and Rya

and asks them, "are the two of you coming?"

Henry looks at his long time friend and says, "we'll be there in a few minutes."

Harrison gives Henry a nod and joins her family in the living room.

Harrison Grant and Rya's family crowd around Georgene Steahl, Natalie

Bloodstone, Zach, and Roman, studying the drawings of the fiber ranch

and the healing and wellness center and were impressed at the designs

of both buildings. The fiber ranch made with the finest lumber(mahogany

wood...her favorite. with a pitched roof), while they healing and wellness center

was drawn featuring the finest stone with beautiful display windows Harrison

knelt down for a closer look at the sketches.

In the kitchen, Henry and Rya look with intensity at each other. Henry searches

her eyes asking himself, "She's my phoenix. What am I to her?"

Rya must've seen the question written in his dark, penetrating eyes. She

told him, "You are my king. Being with someone my own age means nothing

when the men my age are aimless, directionless, have zippo ambition. Not to

mention, most of the men my age couldn't find their ass with both hands and a

flashlight. Age doesn't connect people. Being intellectually, emotionally and

spiritually does."

Henry was caught off guard for a beat, then he let out a bark of laughter, hugged

her tightly against him and said, "You really are an old soul my phoenix. You

are wise beyond your years. Let's go to the living room, I want to see what my

phoenix created." Henry says taking his place at her side, placing his hand in

hers and walking with her to the living room to see her fiber ranch and healing

and wellness center drawings she had commissioned.
