After a hearty breakfast of eggs, biscuits and gravy, and fried potatoes, the James family left the family dining room and retired to the living room. In the fireplace, a hot, glowing fire released its warmth and permeated throughout the room. With it being the dead of winter in Parkersburg, West Virginia, near the fireplace was where Jericho wanted to be. Assembled in the living room were Jericho and his wife of forty years, Sarah. Also, Asa, along with Asa's wife, Karen, and their three children, Jericho's grandchildren. There was Jessica, the oldest, Leah, the middle child and Daniel, the youngest and their only boy.
