35. 35 A Trip to Grandma’s Janetta dragged her suitcase down the stairs, across the porch and helped her dad lift it into the truck. “You’ve got enough in there for a month,” Dad said, laughing out loud. “You’re going to Grandma’s for only two days. “I know, “ answered Janetta, “Grandma is taking me out during the day and at night.” Dad parked the car next to the train station. Crowded with people, the train station looked as if everyone in Cross Junction was traveling someplace. The ticket line looked like a snake slowly slithering across the yard, thought Janetta. Finally, dad purchased a ticket for Janetta, and they walked to the waiting room. “I’ll wait with you until it’s time to board,” said Dad. “I’ll call tonight,” said Janetta. Soon the conductor announced that Janetta’s train was leaving in five minutes. She kissed and hugged her dad and followed the crowd down the steep stairs to the train track. Janetta lugged her suitcase into the train and quickly found a seat. I’m glad, she thought, Momma packed me a good lunch. Slowly the train chugged out of the station. Faster and Faster turned the wheels. Janetta watched Cross Junction disappear. In two hours, she’d be sitting with grandmother in the farmhouse kitchen. Janetta couldn’t wait!
