You're Not Always Alone for the Holidays
(Author's note: here is the third installment, enjoy!)
Elli's view
"Tim, come on. We need to get to get to my grandmother's house. "
"In a minute, I want to finish this report. "
"That report on Jeff hasn't changed at all, so you can finish it later. I want to get over to my grandmother's place. Stu is probable driving her crazy by watching the reruns that show he likes. "
"Ok, ok. "
Tim threw the pen down. Why do some guys get angry so quickly? I want to make sure that he gets dinner. Knowing him if I didn't bring him along, he would work until 3 in the morning, then just have a glass of milk before going to bed.
"Alright, let's go. ", said Tim while putting on his coat.
I feel that Tim is acting the same age as Stu.
During the walk, I was tempted to hum a song about going to grandmother's house, but I didn't. After a few minutes we arrived at my grandmother's house.
"Hi Grandma, we're here. "
"Hello Ellen, how are you feeling? "
"Hello Elli, Tim. I'm feeling fine for now. ", said Ellen while pausing in her knitting.
I could hear the television in the small room that Stu watches television in. I opened the door.
"Hi Stu, I'll get dinner started. "
"'lo ", mumbled Stu.
Why do some people just keep watching television and not bother to turn and look at people talking to them?
I feel that Stu is watching too much television during winter. I would like him to sleep in the room I have at the Clinic. But my brother doesn't want to "sleep with my big dumb sister. ". I just wish that our parents didn't die in that accident. I hope that I'm raising Stu right. I guess that this will be good practice for when I have kids. I could hear Tim talking with my grandmother.
"Doctor, is there any word yet on who will be taking over Joe's farm? It's a shame that he never had any kids. "
"I haven't heard anything from the Mayor. He is thinking that the farm might need to be sold, since he hasn't found Joe's will. "
"It's was such a nice farm. If it does get sold, I hope that it is to someone nice. "
"Yes. I took a look at it the other day, on my way back from forging for some more of the medicinal plants that grow on Mother's Hill. It has a lot of tree stumps and branches. As well as stones and boulders that were dropped by that snowstorm we had the other day. So whoever does take over that farm, will have a lot of work ahead of them. "
It looks like Tim enjoys talking to my grandmother. I do care about him. I want to learn more on being a doctor, while keeping the job as midwife for the town. I wonder how Tim feels about me. It would be great if we could do this next year.
