Not What I Had Imagined!

Delightful Meaty, spicy aroma's spilled into the air from the red brick Building and I felt sure that the People boating, on the two blocks away, Lake were sniffing the air. Head tossed back In awe of the wonderful smells. "Jack's in the kitchen" I heard him say as they pulled into the empty parking space next to mine. Smiling! Glad to see us there. Frank was in Love. Coming around the red mustang, grinning, in his new blue jeans. Helping His new love from the front seat. Settling the Child upon his hip. Natural, the way the three of them seemed to fit. A budding family. Camella smiled eyes filled with hope, reaching out for Anthony. Laughing as he threw his year old self into her welcoming arms. Laughing her way up the sidewalk. Passed the pots of vibrant blooms resting there on the narrow steps. " Welcome Home" they seemed to say in the bland neighborhood. Yellows and bright reds tumbling from their clay pots. I was a little bit afraid. About to meet My brothers, new Love's family. What if they don't like me I wondered, will it make them not like him? I'll be on my very best behavior! I promised myself silently. Just before Granny Jean threw open the front door. Standing there with pocket novel in her hand and a welcoming smile in her eyes. I was about to be introduced to my new Lifelong friends. Not at all what I had imagined. But oh so much more than I had hoped. I was their new son's little sister. That made me family in the Brown House!
