Nathalie's Grandma was in her late 60-ies. But Nobody would dare to call her 'old' because of her vivid nature, great sense of humor, memory & intelligence, still visible beauty ( internal & external ) that didn't pass with time - & most important: the Youthful & Happy look of her Blue Eyes!
As soon as she noticed that Her Family Arrived, Jake & Dorothy got out of the car, reaching the entrance door & Jake called 'We're here, Mom!'
... the Mansion door opened & she Run to greet her Son & Daughter-in-Law with her arms spread & laughing out of joy to See Them Again. It might have looked a bit surprising to see an almost 70-year-old woman running like a 20-year-old Girl - but Nathalie's Grandma was exercising a lot & she never stopped. So she was the 'coolest & fittest Grandma Nathalie's friends could imagine'. & they All liked her cause she liked to joke, tell fantasy stories to them & she baked delicious cookies & cakes & let them play in her Amazing Garden whenever Nathalie asked her for that.
She run to Jake & his wife like a young girl, Hugged them both standing between them & called with a Happy ( & also 'still young sounding ) voice 'You're Here At Last! - Welcome Home, My Dears!'. She finished the hug, kissed their cheeks one by one ( first her son's cheek - then her daughter-in-law's cheek ) & then looked at Dorothy & told her 'Aww! - You look So Lovely!'. Dorothy smiled & answered 'Thanks, Mom - You too!'. Grandma Angie giggled & answered 'Thank You!' so Jake confirmed 'She's right, Mom!... - & with your fitness & Sense of Humor you're going to live 100 years! - or even more!'. Jake's Mother giggled again & answered 'I wish, Dear Child! - so then you would have to 'Stand My Presence' for over 30 Years!'. She said it in a Joking Tone so Jake & Dorothy laughed shortly - & then they all turned back because they heard Nathalie's happy voice 'I wouldn't mind that!'.
