America:  But Nan, are you sure you want me to go.  Dont you need me to help you here?

Nan:  No child I will be alright, besides your grandpa will be here soon, dont worry.  Go with your mother and see Storm.  You need to spend time together.

America:  Ok Nan, see you later.

America followed her mom to the stables.  This was the break she needed to put her plans to action.  Thank god the vet has called or she wouldnt have known what to do to get the preparation going.  Everything was nearly ready.  She baked the cakes and made the sandwiches earlier and put them all in the larder away from the prying eyes.   All she had to do is mix the drinks and wrap the presents.  She was planning to have the party in the garden, and that didnt require a lot of preparation.  She was so exited and happy.  She waited for her husband to come back from town.  He was bringing with him the present for her daughter.  They really have thought of this for a long while and gone out of their ways to make it all happen tonight.  Her children were coming home too, Nelson and Roma and she was very very excited about that too she has missed them so much and havent seen them for months. It was going to be a real big surprise party and Sandra was very happy and full of anticipation for the moment.

She only had to work a plan on how to get her daughter home before the party and persuade her to wash and change her clothes and dress up for a party. 

How are you going to pull this one off Sandra? 

She was wondering and talking to herself when her husband walked in and looked at her puzzled.

Sandra:  Oh hi when did you get back? 

David:  What is the matter woman?  Why are talking to yourself?

Sandra:  Oh nothing I was just wondering how to get everything ready for tonight without spoiling the surprise.

David:  Oh is that it?  Well dont worry my darling, I am going to help you and make sure that we have the best surprise party for our daughter ever.
