So
Daniel where do you live? Grandma said you spend every summer
with your grandparents. Yes, I love it here, he said, it is so
quite compared to city life. I live in Orlando, Florida. No way
said Margo that
is just to cool.
You won't believe this I live in Orlando too .wow, said Daniel,
this is unbelievable. What school do you go to he asked?
Edgewater high said
Margo. no way, said Daniel I go to Edgewater high too. Well said
Margo Edgewater is a large school, I’m in the tenth grade what
about you?
The eleventh, said Daniel. And they both started to laugh about
that time grandma came back with some tea, and some sandwiches.
These look great said Daniel, and the three of them sat there
eating and talking.
Daniel, how is your mother doing, asked grandma? Oh she is
doing?
Great Mrs. King, she is still working at Winnie palmer hospital,
as a
delivery nurse, I think she has been there about 12 years now.
Well that’s good to hear said grandma. Then she turned to
Margo and said, Daniel’s mother Marilyn and Joanne were good
friends growing up, if Marilyn
wasn't here, Joanne was at her house. Those two were always up
to something, and always on the go. Until the year that Joanne
met bob, he swept her off her feet. After that Marilyn came over
less and less.
Joanne and Bob were practically joined at the hip so to speak.
Where ever Joanne was you would find bob too. Then Marilyn met
Teddy, his family had just moved to town. He was such a sweet
fella, always very polite.
The four of them went out together a few times, but it seemed
like the girls just drifted apart. That was such a shame because
they had always
been so close. Then the next year after graduation Marilyn and
Teddy got married.
A year later they moved to Florida. The next year Joanne
and Bob got married and two years later they moved to Florida
too.
Yeah Margo chimed in and said Daniel and I just found out we go
to the same school. He is a year ahead of me, it's a big school
so I guessed
we never bumped into each other and we only live 10 miles apart.
Wow said grandma that is something, well you know what they say, it's
a small world.
That’s for sure said Daniel and they all laughed. After they
finished their lunch, Daniel said, well I had better get back to
my grandparents’ house,
they are probably wondering where I am. So Margo, I was
wondering if you would like to go into town tomorrow and see a
movie. That sounds great Daniel, thanks I would love to. Unless
grandma needs me to do anything tomorrow, No dear I can't think
of anything you go with Daniel and have fun. I guess I will see
you tomorrow then, great said Daniel,
then it’s a date. And he turned and walked down the steps.
as
soon
as he was out of sight; Margo turned to grandma and said,
this
may be a wonderful vacation after all. Grandma just laughed and
said, it’s good to have young folks around again. Margo
laughed and said, now grandma it's just a movie. Grandma winked and said
,that’s the same
look Joanne had when she met Bob. And you see what happened to
them. That doesn't mean it will be the same with Daniel and me,
said Margo. Grandma smiled and said, we'll see, we'll see
