At Granny's House Page #2

Hmm, haven't done

a lot with it lately.

Listen.

I know you're not comfortable

with me being here.

Yet.

But you will be.

We'll make a great team.

You'll see.

Oh, you're up, sleepyhead!

Going for the caffeine, eh?

We're gonna have

to switch to decaf,

it's better for you.

And I just about

have breakfast ready,

you'll love it.

My famous oatmeal.

Very heart-healthy.

We wanna take good

care of you, right?

I prefer bacon.

Hmm, nah-ah.

So, how do you like it?

It's good, thanks.

And it's high

in anti-oxidants,

fiber and flavonoids,

and low on cholesterol,

and trans-fatty acids.

Great.

Have you heard

from your son lately?

No, he hardly ever calls.

Now that you're here

he doesn't have to

even pretend he cares.

Oh, that can't be right.

He seemed like

such a caring man.

Hmm, caring for

his checkbook maybe.

I'm sorry you think that.

He told me he loves

you very much.

He told you that?

Hmm-mm.

Yes, it was very sweet.

You know, I'm thinking

I'll move downstairs.

Oh well, I think...

perfect, I'll take my

stuff down after breakfast.

It'll be just like home.

You in the upstairs.

Me in the downstairs.

Yeah...

What are you looking for?

Oh, I'm getting so

forgetful nowadays.

I could've sworn I had my

Oprah magazine right here.

Oh, it's not you,

I took your magazine

to read in bed.

I'll go get it.

Oh, thank you dear.

Coming right up.

You have some nice friends, fun.

They're good folks, I've

known 'em a long time.

But new friends are good too.

You know, I was thinking...

What dear?

Not really sure

how to say this...

Well, just say it,

what could be so bad?

Well, it's just you're

so good with people

and we have so much space here.

Have you heard of myfreebed.Com?

Oh, I don't use the

web portal very much.

Well, it's a great

site, people sign up

to meet new people,

traveling through,

to let them use their homes.

Is that safe?

Sure, people that about

themselves on the site,

and others who they have already

stayed with vouch for them.

I've used them both, both

offering places to stay

and staying with people.

It's a really neat experience.

And safe.

Come to think of it, we

did something like that

during the war, only it was

soldiers passing through.

Of course we didn't

have the web.

We barely had running water.

So what do you think?

It's a great way

to meet new people.

Ah, I don't know.

Don't worry, it will

always be just one at a time.

Come on, it'll be fun.

The visitor will

stay in the basement,

so they'll be out of your hair

and I'll take care of all of it.

Come on, live a little.

Maybe I should ask my son.

Your son?

This is your house.

Okay.
