4343 Tulip Lane page 2 by ric gustafson
Roger Henkel kissed his wife as he put his work clothes into a small black duffel bag.
" Would you like me to make you some breakfast?" Carol Henkel asked as she opened the bedroom door.
" No thanks, I'm going to bike to work this morning". As she walked downstairs toward the kitchen, he quickly put on his bike clothes because he already knew he was running late this morning. He brushed his teeth, combed his hair and walked down to the kitchen.
She was preparing a school lunch for their son Luke.
" Have a good day and give Luke a big hug from me". He gave her a peck on the cheek. " I'll see you when I get home". He opened the garage door and brought out the bike that he had customized himself. He put on his helmet, his gloves, strapped on the duffel bag, closed the garage door and started out.
It was a beautiful Monday morning as he signaled left and turned onto Tulip Lane. New houses were being built and he was curious to see that. He knew that 4343 was the only lot left to be built on and as he rode up to it, he noticed a Sold sign where previously it was for sale. " Somebody finally bought this huge lot" he muttered out loud as he rode up to the curb in front of it and stopped. Construction barriers were already set up so Roger knew they must be starting on it already. He glanced at his watch and then pedaled fast knowing that he had to get to work.
