Dale Flowers
Dale looked over the blonde girl that had answered the door, now that he wasn't expecting. From what he had heard though she must have been Adeline's granddaughter, the old woman was always talking about her two granddaughters, and the girl definitely fit the description of Cambriah. 'Hi, I'm Dale I live just down the road,"Dale said introducing himself politely to the girl infront of him, giving her a friendly smile. "I've got your grandmother's mail," indicating to the pile of mail he held in his right hand, he side stepped the girl and moved further into the house. He had decided he had given the girl enough of a description of why he was here, besides he knew Adeline well enough to walk into her house.

"Adeline, my mother has sent me with your mail," Dale said with a good natured grin as he located Adeline in the living room playing with a younger version of the blonde who had answered the door. He assumed the younger girl was Haden, if he had remembered the names correctly. "Oh, thank you dear, you're a lovely boy for doing that for you mother. Speaking of which, how is everybody doing down your way?" Dale grinned, she was such a sweet old lady, to her everyone's was a lovely person, she'd probably never survive outside Bradentown though. She'd get conned way too easily. He was glad her granddaughters were finally here to stay with her, Adeline was always talking about how she wished she saw more of them. Then again why would they want to spend their summer here, no doubt they'd rather go to fancy restaurants and do exciting, rich people things all summer. In some ways he was jealous of the upbeat lifestyle they clearly had but in other ways he was sure they were pretentious, snobby people who didn't even make time for family.

"Everything's at my place is good, no doubt you've heard about Shay's recent engagement, it caused a blur of activity. Everyone's busy looking busy so they don't get roped into helping her move out." Shay was his aunty and uncle's oldest daughter and she had recently gotten engaged and would be moving out any day now. Dale was happy about her moving out as it meant one less girl, girlying up the house. He wouldn't miss her though as it wasn't like she was leaving Bradentown, he'd still see her just as much. He only hoped he avoided helping her move, though this was probably a definite scenario, his uncle was always working so Dale was stuck doing all the 'guy' jobs. Like fixing things, opening jars and, you guessed it, moving heavy things.

"What about you, how have things been here, other than of course the obvious difference?" He asked Adeline obviously referring to her two blonde granddaughter's apparently staying with her now. Leaning back against the wall behind him, Dale settled in for a longer stay than he had anticipated. Obviously this wouldn't be a drop and run situation, not that he minded all that much. Adeline was probably his favorite elder in Bradentown, she was always a good chat. Plus, she was an excellent baker and always had a well stocked pantry. Maybe the size 0 blonde granddaughter of her's might gain a curve or two during her stay. Okay, he didn't really mean that, that was too judgmental, he didn't even know the girl. For all he knew she could be really nice.
