Annie was having spaghettio's for lunch. She decided that she needed to rewrite her will because the people she had in the will were mad at her. She was on her porch and Mrs. Finch asked her if she wanted to help her weed the yard. Annie went in and changed into long sleeves and pants to protect from bee stings. Once Mrs. Finch's hands got sore from arthritis they went inside for tea. Mrs. Finch and Annie played Go-Fish while they waited for the water to boil. Mrs. Finch taught Annie how to play Gin, they bet with pretend pennies. Annie told Mrs. Finch about Rebecca being mad at her because of Fuzzby, and they talked about Jared. Mrs. Finch asked Annie to help her open the "fragile" box. Inside the box was some photos of some tropical fish.
The tropical fish photos inside of the box were photos her husband had taken. Mrs. Finch had lost her husband, Nathan, a year earlier. She explained to Annie that he had died from cancer. Annie wanted Mrs. Finch to put them up on the walls but Mrs. Finch explained that she was not ready to hang them on the walls. They went back to their card game. Annie asked Mrs.Finch questions about Nathan and Mrs.Finch asked her questions about Jared. She told her about the burrito game that they used to play. Annie asked Mrs.Finch what you are supposed to do for someone's birthday if they were dead. Mrs. Finch suggested that she do something to remember her brother. Mrs. FInch told Annie that it was time to put down her umbrella. She thinks Annie is using her worries to hide her sadness and then she wouldn't be able to think about her brother. Anie and Mrs. FInch made a deal. Annie agreed to stop reading the book about sickness if she would hang up one of Nathan's photographs.
