Marleewood Is Open!

The next thing that Marlee had to do was talk to her Grandma B. She had to 'fess up' to the fact that she might have thrown Grandma Lu's stimulus check away when she was helping clean up the mess that Whitlee had made in the Quiet Room at Marleewood. The billboard had changed on the highway so that people now knew that Marleewood had reopened. They limited the number of people that could come in at the same time, and of course, they cleaned and cleaned to make sure no one got sick from the Corona virus that had made so many many people sick this year.

Kanyon and Charlie and some other friends had called and said that they had seen the new sign and that they would be there as soon as they could. Marlee heard these calls and was very sad. She loved Kanyon's Jeep and sometimes he would let her drive it. Charlie was driving a golf cart and having a ball. She wished that Marlee would come and take a drive with her. She was at her nanny's house at the lake. They would have so much fun!

She couldn't stay and play with her friends. She had a job to do, but first she had to tell her Grandma B where she was going and why. She found her out in the kitchen mixing up a cake. Well, the talk with her grandma would have to wait. She just loved to help her in the kitchen and of course, licking the bowl.

Finally, Grandma B said, "Okay, girl. What's up with you? You have been so quiet. What's going on? How can I help?" Marlee knew her B would help her. She started talking a mile a minute and told her exactly what had happened and why she needed to go to Colorado. She told her that she needed to get a job to pay back Grandma Lu her money and why she couldn't go to Marleewood to play with her friends. She said that she needed to pack her Barbie Camp' and head out to question the bad guy that stole Marleewood's trash can. She told her that while she was packing she was going to put her Chief of Police uniform in the camper too. She needed to look official when she questioned that guy out in Colorado.
Marlee quickly packed her bag, gave her sister a hug, and would soon be leaving the mini farm on her newest and most exciting adventure.
