Grandma Lu Was Grouchy But Grandma B Was Fit To Be Tied!

They were all tired and had moved into the sitting room where the chairs were much more comfortable.

Marlee and Grandma Lu were still bickering back and forth over the story line of the Unicorn story. Marlee didn't like boys in the story and she didn't like being spoiled and sad in the story. Grandma B thought that there were too many characters and Grandma Lu thought she was always right and kept on writing the story the way she wanted it. This book was completely different than the last time. Marlee was two years older and often stopped Grandma Lu's typing or writing her notes. Grandma Lu was getting grouchy because the cookies and coffee weren't coming quick enough. Grandma Lu wanted to stop and get back to work another day. Marlee said, "No." Grandma B was fit to be tied and kept saying, "This place is dusty and dirty. I need to get to work. Let's go home."

Grandma Lu said, "I'm almost done. I just have a few more pages then we can go home."

Carter and his grandma were driving through town and Carter said, "Look, Grandma, Grandma Lu and Grandma B are at Marleewood. Let's go home and tell Liyah. She hasn't ever heard Grandma Lu tell a story. I bet should would like to go. Is it okay if we go listen?"

"Sure it is. Oh look there's Kaysyn. Cool balloons. Should we stop and get some balloons too? I think she is going in the  back door to the kitchen. Let's hurry and pick up Livah and come back."

When they got home they called Mylee and told her that Grandma Lu was at Marleewood and was going to tell a story. She should come. She said she would and would wear her brand new unicorn shirt she got for her birthday. She told Carter that she would bring her new Unicorn balloons too. She said she would call Charlie because their grandmas were friends. Maybe both of her grandmas would come. She was so excited!

Livah was way over ready to get out of the house and do something fun. "Grandma don't they have parties at Marleewood sometimes? I heard they have lots of fun. It's close to Valentines Day. Why don't we call some friends and have them bring stuff to make Valentines boxes and we could bring some food. Do you think that would be okay?" I also heard that Marlee's little sister likes unicorns. I do too. I love my unicorn. Why don't we tell everybody to bring their stuffed animals and their craft stuff and surprise the Grandmas. I think that's a cool idea." And so they did....

They called Regan. She was ready to go in a minute with her huge unicorn she had gotten for Christmas. She said that she would make some snow ice cream for the party and bring stuff to make a Valentines box. She was so excited that she called her grandma to come to Marleewood to help her. She was quick as a fox and changed into her new unicorn outfit. Oh this was going to be so much fun. She just knew that Grandma Lu would love a party.

Regan called Arie and said, "We are on our way to Marleewood. We heard that Grandma Lu is going to tell a story and have a party. Arie called Harper and said," Regan and I are on our way to Marleewood for a craft show and Valentines party. I heard there was going to be prizes and all kinds of games. Why don't you come? I'll supply the cookies. They are really good. I'm eating one now."

Soon everyone was coming in the back door of Marleewood bringing things ready for a fun party.

Kane and Miles lived further away, but when they got the call they made sure that Kenlee and Kylee were coming too. They said that their brother wasn't going to be there because he was going fishing with his dad, but they would be sure to come. Kane said he might be late because he had a horse that had a lame hoof that needed taken care of. Miles said that's okay. I'm going to bring Simba, my dog. He loves to ride and is a really good dog. That's okay, isn't it?" Kane thought for sure it would be...

Kyler and his sister, Marlee were excited. They told Regan they would bring stuff for snow ice cream too. They said, "What else can we bring?" Regan said, "Bring cookies or cake. Whatever would be good for a party. Oh by the way it is a sleepover. Be sure to bring all your blankets and pillows and stuffed toys that you sleep with. See you soon. We don't want to be late."

"B, am I hearing things because I'm so tired? I keep hearing people talking. I'm getting old I guess. I'm just about to the end of the story. If you can just wait a minute Marlee, I'll read you what I've got so far then I think we will be finished. Hmm maybe I hear Whitlee. I hear something."
