Milk Bottles and Mud Pies

by Cindy Farwell

There is nothing that can stop a granddaughter from spending a much-anticipated week at her grandparents' dairy farm...or is there? In Milk Bottles and Mud Pies, a granddaughter creates wonderful childhood memories when she delivers milk with her grandpa during the wee hours of the morning, makes a late night trip to Silvia's Drive-In for root beer floats, and prepares mud pies to bake in the heat of the sun. When a terrible storm blows in, however, she finds the expectations of a fun-filled week quickly interrupted. In the aftermath of the storm, Grandpa teaches his granddaughter a most important lesson that lingers in her memory.
