Answer:
 My Exciting Homecoming
People say that grandma never run out of hugs and cookies. That's one reason why visiting
grandma's house is always the most exciting day of the year. We have happy memories of extended,
cozy visits to our grandma’s house with our family. We love the delicious food which is cooked by
grandma.

My grandmother's house has a very special place in my heart. I visited my grandma’s house many
times when I was younger. The drive to grandma's house usually takes about forty-five minutes. Dad
will always drive. My job is to look for some updated news about the traffic. After counting the
numerous road signs and staring at the seemingly endless fields of corn, we'll arrive at grandma's house.

Every visit to grandma's is memorable. When we get there, grandma will greet us from afar and give
me a kiss after pinching my cheeks. She willl then do the same to my little sister who usually
squealed with delight because someone has paid attention to her. Then, after all the greeting was done,
the family will go inside and have lunch. After lunch, we forgive each other. I am always required to sit
with my mother while she and grandma are talking. A lot of the time I listen heartedly. Mom is really
good about paying attention. After spending a couple hours at grandma's house, the visit will come to an
end, and we'll all pile back into the car to drive home.
