Also we invtented the Jones since we figured Lucy and Mitch could use some new friends to interact with. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Yikes I totally get why you didn't like being called Ma'am at age 16. I think I was called Madame on a flight with Paris as destination when I was about 22. That also made me feel very old! <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle    :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" />Silvie, thanks for the rating I am glad that you liked the Lucy and Mitch update. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Okay so here's tonight's update: At Southfork, Miss Ellie sat in the sofa in the living room with a cross-word puzzle when Margaret walked up to her. When she spotted the little girl approaching her Miss Ellie put her cross-word puzzle down and said, “Hello Margaret, what are you doing home?”“I decided not to go to the cattle auction,” Margaret replied. “I’d rather spend time with you. I hope it’s alright?”“Of course dear,” Miss Ellie smiled. “So what do you want to do?” “Well Ma’am, I was just wondering if you’ve read my book yet?” Margaret asked her. “Yes dear, I’ve read it.” “Oh good,” Margaret beamed. “What did you think of it?” “It was amazing. You are a very talented writer Margaret.” “Thank you Ma’am. I’m happy you think so,” Margaret said and made a motion to walk away when Miss Ellie called out to her.  “Margaret wait! Why don’t you sit down here?” “Okay,” Margaret agreed as she walked up to the sofa and sat down next to Miss Ellie.  “I thought you and I could have a little talk. Just the two of us,” Miss Ellie smiled warmly towards the child who reminded her so much of Donna and Ray. Margaret nodded and Miss Ellie went on. “So how do you like it here at the ranch?” “It’s really nice,” Margaret said. “Is it true that you grew up here?” “Yes it’s true.”“You’re lucky then, this must have been such a nice place to grow up at.”“It was,” Miss Ellie smiled. “I lived here with my parents and brother Garrison when I was a little girl.” “You lived in this house?”“No, we lived in a different house then. It was before this was built. You see my father felt very strongly about this farmland and it was his only dream to be able to pass it on to my brother Garrison one day. But then my brother Garrison moved out and we thought he had died in the war.” “I’m sorry for your loss,” Margaret said sincerely. “Thanks dear, but he didn’t die then. He died many years later and he came home to die here. Since Garrison too loved the land,” Miss Ellie said wistfully, as she was lost in her memories for a moment. Then she sighed heavily before she went on, “Anyway after Garrison had gone missing we had a couple of hard years.”“How bad were they?”“Very bad, we thought that we were going to lose this land and we would have if it hadn’t been for Jock,” Miss Ellie smiled, as she remembered it all like it was yesterday. “I may have married Jock to save this ranch but I did love him too.”“I’m sorry Ma’am. But I don’t understand,” Margaret looked puzzled. “I thought you were married to Clayton.”“I am,” Miss Ellie said with a laugh. “But Jock was my first husband. Don’t you know that he was your grandpa?”“Oh so we’re talking about that Jock,” Margaret beamed, as the pieces were starting to fall into place.“Yes,” Miss Ellie smiled. “You know since I was married to Jock, I think it would be alright for you to call me grandma, don’t you think?”“Maybe, even though my dad isn’t your real son. Because his mama was named Margaret just like me,” Margaret said thoughtfully. “She’s dead now. But are you sure it’s okay that I call you grandma when my dad isn’t your real son?”“Yes I’m sure. Ray has been a part of this family for a very long time. So even though he is Jock’s son and not mine, I think of him as my son too,” Miss Ellie said warmly.“I’m glad to hear that,” Margaret smiled.“So will you call me grandma from now on?”“Sure I’ll be honored to call you grandma, if it’s alright with my parents of course. I’ll just have to ask them first.”“You’ll do that,” Miss Ellie agreed.“I’ll do it later,” Margaret said. “So would you like to hang out some with me?”“Of course,” Miss Ellie smiled. “How about if I teach you how to play backgammon?”“Sure that sounds like fun. Now let me just see what my dictionary has to say about that game…” Margaret took up her dictionary and started to read in it.Miss Ellie laughed as she confiscated the book. “Margaret dear, you don’t need that book to play the game. I’ll explain it to you.”“Okay grandma.”“Well you’ll see to play backgammon we must start with putting up the board and then…” Miss Ellie started to explain, as Margaret went to get the board game and started to set it up…</blockquote>
