My grandma's house

They say home is where your heart is, and my heart is at my grandmother’s house.

As far as I can remember I used to go to my grandma’s house every weekend since I was a baby. I can picture perfectly my grandma baking cookies in the kitchen, and reading books in the library for hours.

The house is amazing, it has at least 30 different rooms. Each one of them has a special essence, and thousand memories that the walls keep. A smelly carpet on the floor, a comfy couch and the same old clothes are things you can find in this crazy house. As much as I love my grandmother she is not an usual grandmother. She has things in her house that no one would think an old lady could keep. Four cats, and three dogs who run over the place are some of the things that happen in there. A big backyard and a pool are part of her house too. When I was a little girl I used to explore all the things she had inside, and must have played hide a sneak at least a hounded times. Because of his age, my grandpa stayed in bed most of the day. My mom used to tell me stories about the house. Parties, reunions, and some other things are memories she has that the backyard keeps. Everyone on the family has things to tell you about the house that is why it is important telling you about my grandmother’s house. My whole family loves it. From old uncles too cousins, and my dad and his brother. All the family things that had happened in here are special for us. I guess is the place that has magic on it.

There are Memories wrapped on every carpet, laughs, jokes, and mock from my little cousin and romantic stories from all of my mom’s brothers. I hope some day I can go back and just lay on the grass full of flowers below the black cherry tree that my grandma loves to keep. I look forward to creating my own memories in that house with my children and husband. That house will become a treasure full of memories from generations back and those to come. This is the happiest house I know, and I will keep all the memories it has gave me for telling my kids when I become an old lady.
