Margo returns to Magnolia Lane

 

About that time Margo heard Daniel’s car pull up, and then Tony’s truck. Well said Joanne you guys drive safe. Please call me when you get there. Oh and tell mom I will see her next weekend. Margo hugged her and said,  relax mom we will be ok and so will grandma. I know said Joanne But I’ll worry anyway, that’s how mothers are, then she giggled. Well said Margo we had better go, and the four of them headed for Georgia. 

Later they stopped to eat lunch. as they sat there eating; Margo told them how nice it was, for them to give up their weekends to help her. Tony said, Margo that’s what friends are for. Besides soon we’ll all be old married folks. Well said Daniel said, I wouldn’t say old, and then he laughed. Wait said Margo, what do you mean we’ll all be married ,does that mean ,before she could finish misty held out her hand and showed Margo her ring. Then she said he proposed last night. Tony put his arm around her shoulder and said, yeah I didn’t want her to be snagged up by one of these country boys here in Georgia then they all laughed. Margo hugged misty, and said I am so happy for you guys. so have you set a date yet? Misty said not yet,  we want to wait till after your wedding. so then you can help me plan ours.
It’s a deal said Margo. Then they all sat and talked for a while, then got back on the road again.
 
Margo must have fallen asleep, because the next thing she knew they were pulling into the gates of magnolia lane. it was early morning, and the moonlight shone down on the plantation, and Margo smiled and said, I love this place Daniel looked at her and said me too. They slept for a little while, and then ate some breakfast. The guys left to go get supplies and the girls decided to get started on the ballroom, Margo got the key from grandma’s dresser drawer and unlocked the 2 large doors of the ballroom. When she pulled the doors opened ,it was like walking in to the past. Wow, this is bigger then I remember, said Margo. Can you imagine the parties that were thrown in this room, in the last 100 years? Misty said, probably a lot it sure is beautiful. it will be great when we get thru with it said Margo, they steamed cleaned the drapes and furniture, they polished the wood till it shined, and they cleaned the chandelier they mopped and waxed the hardwood floor. They sat down in the floor outside of the room, and admired their work.
