Chapter 1: Surprise Guest
"Sam, David, would you like some lunch," Annie asked the boys after coming
home from Sunday morning church.
The boys came running down the stairs almost knocking Ruthie to the floor.
"What's the hurry?" Ruthie asked stopping them on the bottom of the stairs.
"Mom made us lunch," answered both of them together.
They all walked into the kitchen where Annie was preparing sandwiches for the
twins.
"Would you like some lunch sweetie?" Annie asked.
Um…no, I am going over to Lucy's to ask or really tell her something," answered
Ruthie.
She ran out of the house running over to Lucy's house just behind their house.
Just as Ruthie left, Lucy walked in holding Savannah.
"Hi Luc, Ruthie just ran over to your house to ask or tell you something," Annie
explained to Lucy.
"Ok, can you watch Savannah so I can see what she wants?" asked Lucy.
"Of course honey go," Annie answered.
When Lucy got to her house, Ruthie was running around the house looking for
Lucy.
"Hey Ruthie, I'm right here. What's wrong and so important," Lucy asked.
"I have to tell you something and it's really big news," Ruthie screamed finally.
"What is it Ruthie, tell me NOW?" Lucy asked with some anger.
"Ok ok, Mary called me and told me she's in Glen Oak right now like today!"
Ruthie said with excitement.
"When is she coming to see the family and Savannah?" Lucy asked nervously.
"She said she might come tonight and show her face finally to tell us something
important for the whole family and she's bringing a surprise," Ruthie answered.
Lucy was so excited but was sort of mysterious to the fact that it was important.
She hoped it was nothing bad and then followed Ruthie back to the house.
"Ruthie, what did you need to tell your sister?" Annie asked with discussion.
