I am very excited today. Why? Because I am going to go to my aunt’s house. It’s called The White House Bakery.

My memories of the bakery are from a long time ago, but I still remember the big, warm oven, mild-tasting milk in a white cup in my hand, and my aunt’s genial smile. When I first stepped into my aunt’s bakery after ten years, “Nothing has changed,” I thought.

Customers go in and out. The sun shines through the big windows and into the bakery. It shines on people’s faces and lights up their smiles. The sound of talking and laughing never leave my ears, but I can still hear the music dancing in the room. The music dances with the wind. The wind dances with the white flowers on the big brown table. Good smells come out of the oven, but the bread is not ready yet. My aunt takes her beautiful white cups with flowers painted on them from the wooden cupboard. She makes cups of milk and tea for the kids. There is black tea for the adults. There is already a cupboard full of bread, but everyone is waiting for the new fresh bread in the big old oven. “Ding!” The bread is ready! The oven is open. The smiles on everyone’s faces get bigger.

“This is for you,” my aunt says. She puts down a cup of milk tea and bread on the table in front of me, and sits dowb on the other side. I look at the warm breakfast and think, “The house is warm. The sun is warm, and even my heart is warm.”
