Chapter 5: The answer
RING!RING!. Yawn…oh it's 6 o'clock am. I Have a meeting today.I get out of bed take a shower and prepare breakfast. Brielle is still fast asleep in her room, she got a head ache last night. Guess I have to do all the work-again. The Morning routine I'm trying to follow is this:
6:00 am Get up, shower, eat breakfast
7:00 am Clean house (Sweep,dust,etc)
8:00am Tend Garden
9:00am Write to Grandfather
10:00am Launder or iron clothes
11:00 am Rest and Prepare lunch
Lot's to do. Finally! Brielle gets up and goes to the bathroom. I start cleaning. As I clean, I think of different things like, What did grandfather say? If he says yes, what's the next step?. Sometimes, my acting on impulse gets the best of me.
Brielle and I now are tending the garden, which is now full of little flower and vegetable seedlings. Macey comes up and demands to be fed.
"Meow, meow!"
"Coming Macey. Let me feed her Marie"
"Sure, Thanks"
Then the mail man comes and drops a letter at our mailbox. I wave at him and shout "Thanks!". I get the mail. It's from Grandfather, that's a fast reply!". The letter reads
Aug 28,2010
Dear Marie,
That sounds like a splendid idea!. I am glad to hear that you want to do something productive during your vacation. Don't forget to send me the details of your new business. I am sure your parents would be so proud of you.
Grandfather
The letter was short and simple, but was all I needed to feel happy and energetic!. I quickly shared the news with Brielle.
"That's great, but what do we do next?"
"You're the businesswoman Brielle"
"Hmmm, we need to plan"
The whole afternoon was spent on various suggestions, plans etc. so to sum it up here is what we've come up, so far.
We are going to put up a shop called "The Sugar Fairy". We are going to sell food and pastries. In order for us to achieve our motto "Freshness meets quality", Brielle and i are going to invest on Farm animals and fresh vegetables and fruits.
Yes all that in one afternoon. Then Brielle reminded me of something important.
"Hey it's 4 isn't your date at 5?"
"Oh no!"
I quickly got in the shower, dressed up in my favorite red, fitted t-shirt, jeans and sneakers.
"How do I look?"
"Great. Hey remember if something suspicious is going on, leave at once. Be home before 9 or I'll pick you up, got it?"
"Yeah, thanks. See ya!"
Growing up mother and fatherless, I have always considered Brielle as my guardian, and she does the job pretty well.
