"Hey, I think Auntie Toni made some iced tea this morning, lets go up and have a drink," said Micki. The children dashed up the stairs to the top floor apartment. Cat was away making several runs today and Tony Bass had volunteered to babysit for her. Not that Micki needed to be watched; Tony was mainly. As for my bad luck the apartment was newly constructed and the next flat was empty still to be occupied and after a month someone occupied the flat next door and there was not much noise there I was wondering who come has as my new neighbor most of the time door used to be closed.
