Friend Kate Work Pays Off to Be Organized to Be Roommates D My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles.

Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscapes (風(fēng)景 ) changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world. Every trip to see my grandparents can39。t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons39。 favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents.
