Back upstate where my heart stand still/where I FLOODED THE WASH house and am awaiting a big party

When I went down the basement/the snake that lives there came striding up to me and crossed over to the sculpture pedestal. I knew that he was hungry and that the frog or turtle that both live down there were not enough to satiate his love of food. I took the reptile and put him down at the canal. Strawberry preserves are boiling on the stove. I am confused about the whereabouts of some of the grandchildren. what can I can I do to let their parents know how appreciative I am at this time.
