Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for June 24, 2010

And they’re going to kick Holly out of her room. Prepare for more teen angst, folks….

and where is poor Phil going to fit in with all of this when/if she returns?

“and where is poor Arnold going to fit in with all of this when/if she returns?”

There, fixed it for ya.

Who wants to bet a cuppa coffee the old girl talks Arnold into coming home too - and THEN takes up residence with Arnold?

Yes, but it will also bring new possible uncomfortable encounters with her potential younger step-father.

Is Arnold from the same city, though?

@Ccoghlan, he went to the same high school as Phil…he’s just a few years older.

I’m sure that Gram-ma will have lots of ideas about tie-dying from her travels through Asia. All she has to do is hold on to them until just before she leaves …

She may just be visiting home, not taking up residence again.

I don’t know sounds like Grandma Evie is home sick and misses everyone. I agree Holly wont be too happy moving back with little sis. This is going to be interesting. Can’t blame Val for her excitment. After her talk she will rush to tell sis mom’s coming home.

I bet Gramma, boyfriend or not, will want a place of her own.

I’m sure Gramma would be MORE upset if Val DIDN’T want her to come home!

@colt9033, don’t you mean father-in-law, not stepfather? I was puzzled there for a while.

Nope, if Evie marries Arnold, he’d be Val’s stepfather.

treblemaker, thanks for the fix, except i meant Phil not arnold as i originally stated — i’m wondering since he’s the new love interest and was getting family oriented what will happen to his role when gran’ mama returns home.

Yes, everybody, this complicates everything…. isn’t it FUN?
