Charlie Gets To Meet Aunt Nat

Grandma Lu introduced the children to Aunt Nat, the photographer for Marleewood. Oh they were all excited. Charlie was especially glad to meet her. She thanked Aunt Nat for coming so quickly.
Charlie and Aunt Nat had a fun time visiting. Charlie wanted to show Aunt Nat the Photography Studio and took her hand to lead her the way. But Aunt Nat stopped her. She said, "Oh, Charlie, I know where it is. I was in here the other night and hung a picture of Marlee that her daddy sent me. You see, you weren't the only one that has seen me in that silly magazine. Marlee's daddy saw me in there too. He had heard his mom, Grandma B, talking about you sending me a letter. So he got a copy of the magazine and sent me Marlee's picture by e-mail. I thought it was beautiful. I enhanced it with my software and made a beautiful portrait from his little photo. So I came up here the other night. The lights were all out for some reason, but the doors were open. I stumbled around, let me tell you. You folks, as she gave Grandma Lu a pointed look, should be more careful. The fuses must have blown out or something. I finally found the room I figured would be good for my studio. I had a flash light app on my cell phone that I remembered and used that to find my way around. My friends taught me everything I need to know about cell phones and apps and stuff.
 I had a special light that made a glow effect. That software and my special cameras was all I needed. I wanted to see how Marlee's picture would look on the wall. I have been here a couple of times and no one answers the door even after I open the door and say, "Hello!" The other day I brought my lunch with me. I started eating it in the kitchen back there, but my niece, Natalie, had sent me a text. I needed to go outside to answer it. Did anyone ever tell you folks you have terrible reception for cell phones around here?
Any way here I am. All I need are some folks that want their pictures taken. I can probably stay a couple of days if your small town has some place where I can stay.
Well Marlee and Emma heard Aunt Nat tell Charlie this story and of course, so did Grandma Lu.
Those two (2) little girls got so excited they could hardly talk. They sprang into action. They knew just what they needed to get beautiful for the photographer. They got into their special make up bag "for special occasions."
Grandma Lu, however, was not a bit excited. She still didn't know how Aunt Nat got in the door and who owned that noisy yellow car out there.
Knowing Grandma Lu like I do, she stood up straight and said, "Okay, Aunt Nat, just who owns that noisy yellow car out there?" Oh, Aunt Nat laughed. She said, "Well I do, of course. My niece whom is also my goddaughter, sent it to me as a gift." She whispered, "She's a race car driver, you know and makes lots of money. I love the fast and noisy cars too, but I would much rather have a visit from her and no car. I miss her very much."
In a very stern voice Grandma Lu asked, "Do you by any chance drink Diet Coke?" When Aunt Nat answered, "Well, yes, doesn't everyone?" Grandma Lu closed her eyes and said, "No, Dear, not everyone, but welcome to Marleewood, where anything can happen and usually does."
Aunt Nat reached for her pocket where her cell phone was vibrating. She took it out, saw who was calling and hit Decline. She looked at Grandma Lu and said, "Now where were we? Don't you just hate these nuisance calls?"
