I had the day off

I had the day off. I was still doing wedding planning though the planning was nearly all done with. Aunt Alice was coming over to my place. Greg was hanging out with his brothers for the afternoon.

I was so thrilled Aunt Alice agreed to be in the wedding. I had ideas I wanted to show her for her hair to wear at the wedding. Sam was going to love seeing her all dressed up.

The oven dings. I made ginger snap cookies in the oven. I was going to save some and bring them by to Mrs. Brady as well.

As I was waiting for the water to boil for the tea, the doorbell rings. Aunt Alice was here at last. We could go over wedding plans. When I open the door there was Auntie with Mrs. Brady.

♡♪♬♪♡

"I know it was supposed to be you both. But today was a hard day for me. I could not be alone. And Alice has a kind heart she invited me as the third wheel" sniffs Mrs. Brady.

"I understand! Come on in" I say. "what is today?"

"Mr. Brady's birthday is today" she tells me with tears in her eyes.

I hug her. "You poor thing! You should not be alone today" I tell her.

The water boils making the tea kettle whistle.

"Excuse me a moment go have a seat" I say. "I will be right with you"

I head to my kitchen. I get the cookies and get the tea ready for the ladies. I felt bad for Mrs. Brady. I could not imagine being married for so long and her husband being gone.

Where were the kids? She should not be alone today? What were they all up tp? I sigh. That made me a little upset with them all. I bring the cookies out to the ladies. And serve them as they chatted.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Do you mind me asking but where are the girls today?" I ask Mrs. Brady.

"Oh they are busy. I do not want to be a bother" says Mrs. Brady.

I nod. "Cookie?" I offer.

"Thank you" says Mrs. Brady.

"I have some hair styles for the wedding I wanted to show you aunt Alice" I remind my aunt. I hand her a magzine with the fashion trends in them.

"Splendid" says aunt Alice.

"Excuse me a moment. I have to make a phone call" I say as I excuse myself out of there.

I grab the phone and call Greg at the office.

"Hey Daisy how are things?" asks Greg.

"You all should be ashamed of yourselfs" I scold him.

"What did I do?" exclaims Greg.

"Do you know what day it is today?" I whisper.

"Oh....OH! Dad's birthday" he groans.
