Little Billy felt a twinge of fear when he stopped by that evening and couldn't find his grandmother in her room.

"Where's Aunt Cathy?" he demanded of the first aide to pass by the room. "Is anything wrong?"

"Why no," grinned the aide. "I do believe she'll be goin' home soon. Seems she has got better all a sudden. Go on down to the solarium on the east wing. I think she'll have a surprise for you."

The aide refused to say more, just grinned and chuckled as she walked away.

Billy watched her go, shaking his head in puzzlement. Then turned and headed for the south wing. He was glad to know his grandmother had not taken a turn for the worse, but he could not help but have a new worry as he turned onto the south wing and approached the solarium. Sometimes grandma's surprises were a bit more than the family was prepared for. She had a way of shaking things up. Usually just as eveything was getting comfortable and routine.
