I was just pulling into the driveway when my friend Kathryn called, so I chatted with her on the front porch before going in. Carol heard me and opened the door to "check" it was me. Then I saw her sillouette in the window hovering for a while as I continued my conversation. When I came in Grandpa was sitting in the kitchen like he was waiting for me. I heated up some left-over tator-tot-hotdish, but Carol was no where to be found. Grandpa and I talked about my work over the food, and he asked, "did you make this?" "No, my mom did." then a few minutes later he asks, "When is Jeanne coming down, soon?"
Later on I came into the kitchen where Carol was hovering over the calendar. I took the ice cream out of the refrigerator and the ice tea off the top of the refrigerator. Typical monday. 45 minutes later when I was on the phone in my room with my mom, Carol knocked on my door, "It's Carol!" She was wondering when their doctor's appointment was tomorrow. My mom told me she remembered 10:30 or 11 so I wrote it on the calendar. I had written earlier that Cynthia was going to drive so I asked her why that was earased. She held up a pen and said she didn't have an earaser. A pencil with an earaser set close to her hand. I re-wrote that Cynthia would drive them and told her this, but she said that her and Tom were planning on going somewhere after the appointment. She said they hadn't been over to that side of PSL in awhile and they were planning on hanging out so Cynthia coming over would be unneccesary."It would be a waste of her time and money and a waste of my money," she said. I started to protest but she was getting snippy and my mom told me on the other side of the phone to not even bother. It's true, tomorrow will be an entirely different story.
Interesting... If what she says is true, they'll have have a opportunity for them to get lost in their own home town. I'd say expect a call from the PD at some point, but T&C won't be able to remember your cell phone number (or even that you are staying with them) and who knows who will get the fun call then.
ReplyDeleteThat is, if they even go to the appointment.
Maybe Cynthia will be able to convince them to just let her take them. If not, it will be interesting.
I'm curious. As I read this, they should be on their way to said appointment. Who is at the wheel? What adventures await the day? Will I be the lucky one to receive a call from PSLPD? Will they show up at our door in a few days, tired, hungry, flushed from their cross country adventure? Only the Shadow knows...
