Clara held a colorful envelope in her hands. The letter was an invitation to a special street reunion. She had not visited Elm Street for thirty long years. Many happy memories filled her mind at that moment. Elm Street was the lovely place where she grew up. She decided to attend the event on Saturday morning. Early that day, Clara woke up with great excitement. She chose a comfortable yellow dress made of soft cotton. She put on her favorite light jacket made of linen. Then, Clara walked into her sunny kitchen to prepare food. She baked delicious muffins filled with fresh apples and walnuts. She also packed sweet berries and roasted sunflower seeds. Clara carried her basket and walked toward her old neighborhood. The morning air was fresh and smelled of sweet flowers. Soon, she turned the corner onto familiar Elm Street. Giant oak trees still stood along both sides of the road. Wild birds sang joyful songs high up in the green branches. Colorful paper banners hung between the tall wooden lamp posts. A long table stood in the middle of the quiet street. Beautiful cotton tablecloths covered the long wooden tables. Clara felt her heart beat a little faster with excitement.
