about this story

Last summer something impossible happened to me. It was the day after my 10th birthday. I had wished that I knew what life was like when my grandmother was my age, and it came true. The next day I woke up in a yellow room, but mine is purple, what happened to it? Then, my grandma's name was being called outside of the door.
"Delilah, I've called your name a hundred times, get up we need to go to church!" Said my great grandmother walking in. Then, I realized what had happened, I was now my grandma!
"You go on. I'll ride there on my horse once I'm dressed." I replied. I could hear the country accent my grandma has.
"Fine, but hurry up." She huffed. Once the door clicked shut I jumped up and scanned through the dressed my grandma had, and decided on the lilac purple dress with a white ribbon in the middle. After I wiggled into the dress, I found my socks and put on white shoes that would be easy to ride in. Running out of the house to the back door I heard Jazzy, gram's horse, making noise in the barn.
"Hey, Jazzy, let's ride, yeah?" I skied getting her bridle and sadle on. She jumped in excitement at the word ride. As I mounted her I noticed a trail leading to the woods.
"This must be the short cut gram always talked about." I thought. Jazzy and I barreled into the forest. After almost twenty minutes of aimlessly following the trail, I realized this wasn't her short cut, this was her trail to have thinking time. I decided to look around, the trees were beautiful. As I looked around I noticed a tree with bright crimson leaves. Next to it was a tall tree with bark that was damages, probably from a buck sharpening his antlers. Then I started to panic because I heard my, gram's, name being called.
"I am so, so, so, sorry. I got caught up in my own thoughts and completely forgot where I was going." I apologized. She just shook her head and sled away.
