Sizzling Summer by The Bay – Part 12

The next morning Estelle woke up with the sun peeking through the small basement window. Jamar and Jim had worked on a project over the past year finishing the basement to include a guest and rec room.

She stretched and groaned, feeling the ache of unrested muscles. Part of her wanted to sleep longer, but she could hear her niece and nephew thumping around upstairs already. Apparently, they were morning kids, which didn’t surprise her, growing up on a ranch and all. It was the reason she was a morning person. Years and years of farm chores before the school bus would even arrive.
