A Friend from the Sea

Hi everyone!  Today I made a new friend who just moved in down the street. Her name's Caroline Marie Abbott, and she's very sweet.
Today on this cold winter morning I decided to stay inside and read.  Then I heard someone at the door: *Knock-knock*  "Who could that be?" I wondered.

 "Hello, I'm Caroline, and I just moved here. I don't really know anyone yet, so I'd like to start making some friends before school on Tuesday." the girl with long, blonde curls kindly explained.

"Hi, I'm Lorraine, but you can call me Rainie. Why don't you come inside, it's freezing out here!  Do you want to have some tea and muffins?" I asked the girl, Caroline. "Sure, I'd love that!" she replied, walking in the door.

We sat inside sipping raspberry tea and eating blueberry muffins, chatting and getting to know each other.

 Caroline use live by the sea Sackets Harbor, NY.  She also has a kitten, Inkpot.  Caroline told me he's very mischievous and often got into trouble.  His most common way to cause trouble was spilling over the ink bowl, and once he fell into it, gaining the name Inkpot.  "Haha, that's funny!  You should bring him over sometime, I love cats!" I told her.

Pretty soon, it was time for her to head home.  I promised to introduce her to the girls at school, and invited her to come over to work on homework together sometime.  "Great, I'd love that!" Caroline cheerfully replied.

 

 We waved goodbye and I went inside, smiling that I made a new friend.

 The end! I hope you enjoyed the story, and thank you for visiting my blog!  See you soon, and I hope you're all having a not-so-cold winter!  Remember, spring's around the corner! ;)
