“I’ve got it right here, Cassie. $119.60 for the month. Grain is going up to three cents a pound next month. We just got the prices from our supplier in Denver. Thought you might want to stock up before then.”

“See you next week. And Sadie, if anyone else asks for Sam would you send word to us”
“Will do. I’ll have one of the twins bring you the message.”
“Thanks. See you later.”
