A few minutes later Ben,and I arrive into town,and we stop in front of a shopping center. We dismount our horses,and we walk into the store,and Ben talks to me for a few minutes.
Ben exclaims to me,"You can pick out anything you'd like shirts,pants,socks,shoes anything you think you might need,and don't forget to pick yourself out a party dress. I'm having a party at the Ponderosa tonight,and I want you looking nice."
I respond back to Ben,"Ok Ben."
"You can call me Pa."
"Ok,Pa."
"I have to pick out clothes for my boys,and I for the party tonight."
"Ok,Pa."
Ben,and I finish up our conversation. We look around,and we do our shopping. I pick out clothes for me,and a party dress. Ben picks out clothes for his sons,his wife,his other two girls,and himself. He pays for everything,and the cashier puts everything into bags.
I pick up my bags,and Ben picks up his. We both walk out of the store together,and we go back outside. We mount our horses,and we start heading back towards home. Ben talks to me for a few minutes on the way home.
Ben exclaims to me,"How do you like it at the Ponderosa?"
I respond back to Ben,"It's nice Pa it's really nice,and it's better than being in the orphange."
"Would you like to stay at the Ponderosa pernamently Annie?" "Yes,Pa I would I'd really like that."
"Good I'll contact the county this afternoon,and have them send me your adoption papers. You're my daughter now,and I'm going to adopt you."
"That's great,and that's awesome."
"When we get home take your stuff from the bedroom downstairs there's a brand new bedroom at the top of the stairs just for you."
"Ok,Pa."
"I'll have my wife put your clothes in to be washed."
"Ok,Pa."
"After lunch you can put them away."
"Ok,Pa that sounds good to me."
"Ok."
Ben,and I finish up our conversation,and we start heading back towards home. A few minutes later we arrive back at home,and we dismount our horses.
We walk into the house,and I take my stuff from the guest bedroom upstairs to my new bedroom. Ben has his wife put my clothes into the washer.
I put my stuff away in my new bedroom. I put my pillow,and my blanket on my new bed in my new bedroom.
Once the washer is done Carly puts my clothes in the dryer,and I walk out of my bedroom. I walk downstairs,and I wait until its lunchtime.
