Tonight’s entry required another trip to the random writing
prompt generator. “"What relaxes you most?
Write about a place where you have relaxed. Capture the place with your writing."
The most relaxing place I can think of is my grandparent’s house. They live in
the rural town of Elkland, Missouri. The population is a staggering two
hundred! My mom’s side of the family literally makes up fifteen percent of the
town’s population. I find my grandparent’s house to be so relaxing because
everything is quiet, and I am surrounded by my family. Their house has a
sunroom, which is my favorite place to sprawl out with my homework and listen
to music. During my freshman year of high school, I would go to Elkland at
least twice a month so I could see my grandparents and study in peace. My very
talented uncle painted the walls of the sunroom. There are realistic tigers
patrolling a lush savannah and a cheerful orangutan hanging from a tree branch.
I love the sunroom because it is so quiet and has a great view of my
grandparent’s field filled with cattle. I can usually find my grandma in the
kitchen. She is typically baking her famous rolls or reading the newspaper.
Every morning she will go downstairs and run for miles on her treadmill. In the
living room, I can find my grandpa talking on the phone to his customers or
watching golf on the television. I also love the living room because it has so
many wonderful memories. Every Christmas night, my extended family congregates
at my grandparent’s house. We eat a big dinner and have a great time opening
presents. The memories don’t stop at Christmas; I have many other memories of
growing up and going to my grandparent’s. Their house and the town itself will
always hold a special place in my heart.
