Grandma Lu Wants To Have A Party

 Grandma Lu was feeling a little blue. She was missing folks at Marleewood. Thanksgiving was over and she felt like having a party. "I wonder if anyone would like to go to a party in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have my shopping all done except for a few little things, I could sure use some company. I think I will give Grandma B a call and see what she thinks. She has been working really hard lately maybe she could use some company too. I think I will call it an Unholiday Party," she chuckled.

Grandma B said that she thought a party in between the holidays would be perfect. There was always a lull in between the two holidays. The only thing that would be a problem was that Marlee was thinking the same thing. She would soon be going to Preschool and wanted to see her Marleewood friends before she started. 

Grandma B said, "I don't think we could do two parties at once. The little ones need to be supervised with food and drinks." Grandma Lu agreed. She said, "Well, what do you think of the older kids being the host and hostesses? Marlee has quite a few of them she hasn't seen for awhile. Shall we call them and their parents and see what they think? I really need to socialize for a couple of hours. It has been a lonely last few months because of the dreaded COVID Virus. We could have extra masks and hand sanitizer for those that want or need them. If it's nice we could even set up tables outside. Everyone would have to be well and ready to have fun."

The two friends divided up a guest list and who would bring what to the party and when it would be and what room would they use for the grownups and where the kids would have their party. Marleewood hadn't had a party for such a long time both ladies were excited. Hopefully people would want to come.

The first friends Grandma Lu called were Cynthia and Nancy.

Cynthia and Nancy both said that they thought a party in between the two holidays was just what they needed too. They asked what they could do to help. Of course, Grandma Lu said, "Tell your kids and grandkids. I'm going to make sure that Bella and her brothers can come so I'll call them. I'm sure that Aiden would help with the younger kids. Talk to you soon. This is going to be such fun!"

But something was afoot that would even take Grandma Lu for surprise.....
