The House on Sandstone

"Morning, Daddy." Carly poured herself a cup of coffee and took a seat opposite her father at the kitchen table. "Who won the game last night?" She was only asking because she’d found him sound asleep in front of the TV when she’d gotten home just before ten.

"I don’t rightly know." He looked up to see the sly grin on his daughter’s face and realized that he was being tweaked. "You must not have had a very good time last night.

Your head isn’t in a bucket this morning."

Touché. "As a matter of fact, I had a very good time…and I remember every minute of it," she added with a wry grin.

Nadine joined them at the table. "Your daddy and I talked about the store yesterday."

"And?"

Lloyd smiled at his wife and took her hand. "We’ve decided that we’ve got better things to do with our time than hang around a furniture store."

"Aw, that’s great news!" Immediately, she got up and gave each of her parents a big hug.

"So have you told Perry?"

"Not yet. We thought we’d tell him when we close the store on Christmas Eve. We’ll all come over here for lunch afterwards like we usually do."

"So what’s your timetable?"

"We’ll hand him the keys just as soon as he gets things taken care of at the bank," Lloyd answered. "I might work with him a little bit to help him out, but it’ll be his headache instead of mine."

"And he’ll be signing your paycheck instead of the other way around," Carly added. "Do you have a lawyer that can draw the papers up?"

"I guess I ought to call Aaron Cobb. Shouldn’t be much to it."

"Probably not, but this is a pretty big deal, so you want to make sure all the details are taken care of."

"I’ll give him a call this morning when you and Perry go out. You’re riding on the truck today, aren’t you?"

"Sure." Carly still hadn’t stopped smiling. "I’m really glad you guys are doing this.

You’ve worked hard for a long time and you deserve it, both of you."

"And you’re sure you don’t want to run a furniture store?" Lloyd had to ask one more time.

"Positive."

"All right. Well, I ought to get down there and open up. I’ll see ya’ll in a little while."
