Marlee Goes For A Walk

Grandma B called Grandma Lu one day and said, "Guess what, my granddaughter is going to visit today!"
Grandma Lu laughed and said, "That's wonderful. You have a good time with Marlee today. What are you two going to do?"
Grandma B thought and thought. "What should we do today?" She just couldn't decide. Marlee liked to do all kinds of things.
Marlee liked to cook. Marlee liked to clean. Marlee liked to help her with the chores.
"I know, said Grandma B to herself, maybe Marlee would like to go see the neighbor's horses."
Marlee ran into the house and said, "Hi Grandma B, I'm here to visit you!"

The first thing that happened was Marlee gave Grandma B a great big hug. Marlee gave Grandma B a great big hug right back. Oh Marlee loved Grandma B.
"What would you like to do today?" Grandma B asked Marlee. Marlee ran to the door as quickly as she could.
Grandma B laughed and said, "Okay we will go outside for a walk today."

Guess what they saw on their walk?
They saw trees and grass.
Oh, oh, look!
They saw great big horses!
They saw two horses. One, (1) two (2)! Oh, boy. Let's go to the fence and see the big horses.

Company Coming to Grandma B's House

Marlee was so excited. Grandma B was having company come to her house. That meant that work had to be done.
Grandma B dug out her pots and pans and started making cinnamon rolls for her company.
She had said something like,  "I don't know if I can get my house cleaned and the baking all done before they all got here."
Marlee knew where the vacuum was and the duster. She went to work to help Grandma B.
The first thing Marlee did was dust the window sill. She heard Grandma B walk into the room. Marlee waved "Hi" to her and gave her a great big smile.
Grandma B said, "Good girl, Marlee, for helping me this morning. You are so big!"
Marlee smiled real big and kept right on dusting. Dusting for Grandma B is fun.
