She was up and at ’em in the kitchen from the crack of dawn.

Lately, she’d been getting a taste of the good life with all the great grub sent over from Goldie’s house. So, she thought it was a good time to whip up something delicious herself as a thank you to Goldie.

Goldie was big on desserts, so Comelia figured she’d probably have a sweet tooth. She decided to make two of her special desserts: caramel pudding and nut cookies.

Goldie texted back immediately: [Sure thing. I’ll meet you at your place.]

Comelia replied: [No need to bother, I can make it myself.]

After sending the message, she grabbed her desserts and headed out. She was surprised to see a beautiful middle-aged woman standing at her doorstep just as she left her yard.

The lady gave her a warm smile. “You must be Nelly.”

Comelia asked, “Are you Goldie?”
