The
next morning she awoke to the smell of bacon frying and the
smell of fresh coffee brewing. She laid in bed for a few minutes
thinking about Daniel and looking forward to seeing him again. This
is silly she thought to herself. He probably has a girlfriend
after all he is 17 and so good looking.
I知 sure he just wants to be friends. She climbed out of bed
and put on a
tee shirt and a pair of jeans, and pulled her long blonde hair into a pony tail. Then headed downstairs to the kitchen.
as she
entered the kitchen she said something sure smells great.
Grandma turned around and said breakfast will be ready in a
minute sweetie. Great said Margo, I知 starved. Grandma laughed and said great you could use
some meat on those
bones, you can't weigh much. Oh grandma, I知 not that skinny,
I weigh 110 lbs. and I am five foot five. That's just right for
my size. Alright said grandma
if you say so, then I guess you won't want any
of my sweet
potato pie? Oh yes I will said Margo, you know I love sweet
potato pie and they both laughed.
Where is grandpa this morning
asked Margo? Oh child he has
already had breakfast and is out feeding the animals. That man
can never sit still, he may eighty, but he acts like he is still
fifty. Well said Margo,
Well said Margo, that痴 what keeps him young I guess. Yeah,
said grandma, I知 five years younger then him and he can still
get around better than me. Then she giggled and said but I sure
do love that old fella.
How long have you and grandpa been married, asked Margo? Fifty five
years said
grandma I was twenty and he was twenty five. we met right here
at
magnolia lane. my daddy hired him to tear down an old barn out
back and plant a flower garden where it had been. I was eighteen
and
he was twenty three, the first time I laid eyes on him I knew he
was the one for me.
We dated for two years, and then he asked my
daddy for my hand in marriage. Daddy knew I was crazy about him,
so it didn't
take long for
him to say yes. Besides he thought the world of
Sam, so did my mom. She died of cancer two years after Sam and I
got married. so we moved in here to take care of my daddy. He
and mama had grown up together; they were sweet hearts in high
school and got married right after graduation.
They wanted a big family, but mama had trouble
when I was born. The doctor said I would be the last baby for
her, so I was an only child. But they never spoiled me. Wow grandma, said
Margo, now I see where you
got your big heart from. Your parents must have been
something; I wish I could have known them. Me too sweetie said
grandma, but you were named after my mom. Her name was Margo Elizabeth.
Really I never knew that, said Margo. I値l dig out my picture
albums latter
and we can look thru them.
That would be awesome. said Margo. Wow
look at the time said grandma; Daniel will be here before you
know it. We have just talked the morning away. That痴 ok said
Margo I still have plenty of time. Besides it is so cool
learning all the family history.
