The warmth of the strong summer had it to offer which soon gave away to visit of any unexpected storms giving it the blaze and sweep of a cold touch to it s confront ores were ever the were

Sulaven dragged him out of bed as cock called out awaiting the world for the morning that was about to shine its strength at Tillers Peak Good morning dear said Sulaven as he greeted his wife with a kiss good morning she replied and  seat her way to make breakfast Sulaven as he had finished his morning chores he went down to the kitchen to have is meal

Sulaven collapsed on the chair in the kitchen and stretched out the news paper to read and soon as he and done so he happen to hear the sound of wheels

Sulaven then said to Skinner get on your to the car we are right behind you

Skinner went to his care and stared to drive

Sulaven with a group of 16 men and 10 bags followed Mr Skinner to the hostel as they reached the hostel the men and Sulend by Mr, Skinner went to the kitchen

Nothing to worry breakfast will be served in mint

Mr Sulaven sent fro one of his boy’ to buy some milk for the hungry children with out Mr Skinner knowing about it and soon breakfast was served with milk at the mess hall

Mr Sulaven went to the office and said to Mr Skinner breakfast is ready the children can come in to the mess hall

After breakfast the two men went around the corner of the hostel and saw the children

On seeing the small children Sulaven remembered of his angel grand daughter Magness and wished so much in his heart to see her again

 Skinner new the look of Sulaven face and did not bother to ask

Skinner thanked Sulaven and the 16men in doing a wonderful job

Sulaven was quite silent at home as he sat on his rocking chair Martha was very sad and wondered what was the matter he softly that he missed his family and wanted to see them

Martha know this mind of a father she too wanted too see them she gently patted his back and said don’t worry I am here

Just then sound of wells were heard again how is that ? Said Mratha

Oh it must be boy’s for their wage  I will get it Sulaven

As he opened the door and went out  the yard a voice called at him Grand pap

Sulaven could recognise that voice any where even in a thousand miles it was Magness his grand daughter

Magness he cried out as he turned around till he could see the red frocked six year old running towards him as she came towards him he took ed her in his arms and circled around

Mangess had almost forgotten what that felt like for a long time Magness was so happy that she had forgotten  all about doll she had clutched  to her chest in the car were she had left it

Norman and Agness had come in Martha on seeing her son ran towards him and embraced him, what a surprise she said

It is a good to be home Norman said

Were is your father Martha said he is out said with Magnes Norman replied

Angess who came in with Norman went straight to the room

Dropped the suitcase on a corner and took a good look at the room

It never in remotely looked as if no one has been living in it for 2 years

It was Spike and span Agness thought that as if she had come to some thing that had her name on .

  

Norman of the other hand was trolling through memory lain inspecting rooms after room corner by corner till he came to the kitchen were his mother making the meal he soon started to talk

Mean while in lush green year of Tillers Peak was Magenss rooming around with a smile of her face as if the world was happy to see her Sulaven too joined her in to the fun

Don’t’ you want too see and play on your swing Asked Sullivan

Magenss was surprised to know that the swing was still there and grand pap had not taken it away as Miss Mummfet takes away her toys and keeps in high places

She ran toward the apple tree were the swing was she stood frozen as she saw the swing it looked older her with dust all over the seat

Webs had made good use of the rope’s it was like pillar to make the webs strong Dry leaves had made the carpet it looked as she had never know the swing at all But hearing the voice of her grand father she quickly dusted the seat and sat down even though the sight’s of the web’s frightened her

To Mangess more than scary webs meant the smile and pat of her  grandfather on  her back

Yes that meet the world to her so she started to swing

Sulaven the protecting glide was in a distance as he came to magness aide Grand pap I am here come and find me magness cried out

As she had finished saying so she had a friendly knock on her heard it was Sulaven who wanted to Surprise her

Tell me dear Sulaven asked how is you new home have you made any new discoveries or friends Mangess replied new home no place is good enough with out you Grand pap and yes  I have a new friend his name is Andra his my best friend

How old is this little Andra of yours is he one of your friends in kinder garden Sulaven asked

Inder garden --- Magness laughed no Grand pap his is 45 and is the land lord Magness said

Ah too old to be in kinder garden Sulaven said with a smile

But he did tell me that school was a good place and he remembered going to school for the first time said Magness school whey school said Sulaven

This year were are you going what is the name of the school Sulaven Enquired?

I don’t know said Magness

Dad did not tell me

Ok then you can play know I can’t stay Mangess

And then parked for the time being

It is good to be home Magnes said to her mind as she swing high with you under the apple tree

The week at Tiller’s peak might have been nothing for Norman or Agress but it was the world for Magness The birds its musical prayers the companion ship of Tillers Peak brass which has been there for the Tillers through thick and thin and contend presence an comforting hand of her Grand grading angle ‘Grand Pap Mr Sulavan

Yes in deed she was once again the voice in the house

Making friends with farmer she made everyone know that a friend of her grand father was a friend of here’s running round around the bushes jumping on the hay stack wing on her wing running thought the fields bossing her Grandma just for fun, rooming around the house she new the house s it was a treasure in her hand even the night’s were wonderful for it was a moment of expectation and suspense of what the next day would bright her The Suspense and surprise of adventure for Mangess was in the air The morning light that went through every corner of the room gave her the thought’s but rather be in the company of her grand father and of God’s wonderful creation

Even through Mr Suavan was not around Mangness like a tail to a cat it never bothered Magness The house would take over the comforting peak of her mind and still

It would be waking on the air for her

But soon like as Flower losses its elegance and fragrance it was time for Magness to go back to Colorado and to a word of silence and thought of her own in to herself

It was Friday afternoon the car started off the engine she embraced her grad dad as she did her Granddad told her do come soon Mangess Ok Magness

And soon they got on the car and was off as they waved buy to each other Magness turned back waved to her grand parents as they soon they soon gradually disappeared form her eyes and Tillers Peak as the car moved away from them her pounded as she know the spring of her joy breath of freshness and words was moving from her reach

She comforted herself as they passed away from the Peak and through the fields and in to the open road’s

She said to herself

‘I will be back it needs me her or is it I !

                  To my home – yes I will be back ‘
