Memories with Grandma

I wiggled my tools on her checkered floor. Grandma wasn't awake yet, but I loved to get up early to see deer, or squirrels!

As I watched the deer walking to the woods, she came up behind me.

"How about some breakfast, dear?"

She always made my favorites. Once I heard the sizzle of the pan, I jumped up to help. I set the table just right, and pulled out the ketchup for the eggs.

We ate our breakfast as she asked about our plans for the day. As always, we would make a trip to the library!

Once we had finished the dishes and gotten dressed, out the door we went. We saw my aunt, who had just showed up. She sat there with a cigarette to her mouth. Grandma grabbed the newspaper from the porch, and whacked my aunt across the head!

"I thought I told you, no more smoking at my place!"

My aunt apologized, embarrassed, and told my grandma she came to mow her yard.

"Well, good," Grandma said. "It's getting too tall."

She walked me away, since I had been coughing from the smoke. We got to the car and drove off. Once we had arrived at the library, my coughing hadn't stopped. As soon as she heard the splash of the fountain, Grandma took me to get a drink. Once I'd stopped, I almost ran to grab a book.

Once I had gotten one, I sat down to read. The library cat came beside me and tried to hit my book. I swatted at the cat and she ran off.

Now I was getting hungry. Grandma checked my books out, and she told me we were getting a surprise. I was so excited as we pulled up to the Wendy's drive-thru. One chocolate frosty, just for me! I ate it as quickly as I got it, and soon I was asleep.

The next thing I knew, I was back home. My day with Grandma was over. I went to the phone and dialed her number to set up another day together.
