Then I heard Ellie at the bottom of the stairs, "Grami, are you awake?" I was silent, trying to go back to sleep. Again, "Grami, are you awake?" This one was a bit louder. Still no response. Much louder, "Grami, are you awake?" Then more footsteps and Mila announced, "Let's do it together!"
VERY loud and in unison: "Grami, are you awake?" By this time I was laughing too hard to sleep. "Yes, I'm awake." Silence. Nobody there apparently.
No, that was incorrect. A bit of whispering and then I heard the door handle being tested and a jubilant announcement, "It's unlocked!" Followed by "Let's go up!"
Miss Crazy Garfunkle Hair was the first to arrive. She immediately crawled under the covers with me. Mila must have had some momentary mission as it was about two minutes before she arrived. She, too, crawled under the covers. Followed quickly by our kitty cat guest, BA, who proceeded to lay on top of Mila's legs, which brought gales of laughter. And warm legs too.
Ellie grabbed my flashlight from my nightstand and shined it on the ceiling for several minutes pronouncing that it was a half moon and it's still nighttime. I could buy that if it meant I could go back to sleep.
The dratted alarm went off and reality arrived. Time to get ready to go to church.
But what a happy mood I'm in. I'm SO blessed.
Thank you Heavenly Father for these special little sweet beings. They are so very precious to me.
