GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE
"How long has it been since we visited nana," Ashlyn
asked her mother while thumbing though a magazine!?! "Oh, at least two years,"
her mother replied quickly while maneuvering their car through the busy city
traffic, "it was just six months after dad died, so it's been just about two
years!!!" "Don't you think we should have called her first," Ashlyn asked
seriously, "what if she's out of town or something, we'll look pretty dopey
driving five hundred miles for nothing!!!" Her mother gave a short laugh and
replied, "Well if she isn't there we can just spend a few days in the big city
shopping, besides, I have a key to her apartment and we can stay at her place,
so don't worry about it, one way of the other we'll have good time!!!"
"There it is," Katie said to her daughter, "isn't that number 2345 on that red
brick building on the corner!?!" "Yup, that's it," Ashlyn replied, "boy, is
grandma gonna be surprised to see us, I hope she still makes those good pancakes
for breakfast, that's one thing I really loved about visiting her when I was a
little girl!!!" "I'm sure she still has the recipe," Katie said while parking
the car in an empty spot half way down the block, "let's leave out bags in the
car and hurry in to surprise her!!!" Katie and her eighteen year old daughter
made there way back to her mother's building and took the elevator to the fourth
floor, where they got out and quickly found apartment number 416!!! "I'll ring
the bell," Ashlyn said, "boy, I hope she's home!!!" The two of them waited
impatiently for about a minute or so before Katie stuck her key in the door and
offered, "Well, she's probably just out to lunch or something, let's go in and
make ourselves comfortable and wait for her there!!!" It felt a little eerie
entering someone's home unannounced, and Ashlyn was just about to comment on how
uncomfortable she felt when she was shushed by her mother who said, "I think I
hear noises coming from the other end of the apartment, maybe she's home after
all!!!" The two of them made their way down a long narrow hall to the back end
of he apartment, where it became obvious that someone was definitely in the
bedroom!!! "Let's surprise her," Ashlyn whispered excitedly, "don't say anything
until we open the door!!!"
