Every one there was very nice not like her mother had said. Then she thought that's old water under the bridge I'm going to enjoy my time now here at church and don't worry what momma thought. She's had a loose screw somewhere in her head.
At least that's what the judge thought because he had also ordered one on one counseling for Marsha with a psych doctor. She wondered if that was helping her mother any. Stephanie met a lot of young adults close to her age. She even thought about dating.
But she was so busy working to pay her family's bills and put food on the table. By then her grandmother had gotten so much better. She could walk on her own again, even able to shower on her own. Stephanie still helped her cook though.
She loved baking especially bread and dinner rolls. She enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings either listening to music or reading a book. She thought about getting a dog but for some reason every time the thought about Patches came back.
She could never let that happen to another animal of any kind again. She wished that grandma and her just run away where her mother would never to be able to find them. With computers now days she would have someone find them.
She remembered one time her grandmother had said something like that and her mother Marsha told her she would hunt them down and kill both of them. After incident Stephanie's grandma told her that Marsha hadn't really meant that. She loves both of us.
If she had did she sure had very strange way of showing it . It made her wonder if she had done something to cause her mother to hate her so much. Something had changed. At that moment Stephanie decided to find out what exactly it was.
The next Sunday the preacher informed the congregation that beginning that coming Wednesday evening they were going to have dinner then Wednesday evening service. He told them that the dinner needed to simple and they would use foam plates and cups.
He explained the reason for using the foam plates and cups was so the women wouldn't be spending the evening cleaning instead of worshiping the Lord. It made a lot of sense. Their first dinner was fried Chicken, green bean and potatoes, corn on the cob, and donuts from the town's bakery.
Stephanie and her grandmother spent the day taking turns watching Little Jamie and frying the chicken. little Jamie enjoyed helping Stephanie shuckled the corn on the cob. Making the green bean casserole was very easy and Mrs. Owens enjoyed cooking for others.
