A Soldier for Poppy
“She contacted her clients and made alternate arrangements for receiving work while out of town. Luke agreed to stop in and turn the sprinklers on for her precious flowers on the days when no rain was expected. She caught up on laundry and started sorting through their clothing for the items they’d need during the summer.
Carl kept busy oiling door hinges, checking window locks, and a multitude of minor tasks she hadn’t had the time or inclination to do anything about. He also kept the kids ...busy and took them all on outings to the zoo and the circus. It was a wild and wonderful time.
On May thirty-first, they packed up the perishable foods to take with them, locked up the house, dropped the key for the garden gate off to Luke and hit the highway. They were on their way.
