4343 Tulip Lane page 2

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 put on his bike clothes.
She was preparing a school lunch for their son Luke.
" Have a good day and give Luke a big hug". He gave her a peck on the cheek. " I'll see you when I get home".
He opened the garage door and brought out his bike. He put on his helmet, his gloves and strapped the duffel bag down. He closed the garage door and then got on.
It was a beautiful Monday morning as he signaled left and turned onto Tulip Lane. New houses were being built and he was curious what was being done. He rode up to 4343 and noticed a Sold sign on the property.
" Somebody finally bought this huge lot" Roger muttered to himself. He noticed that construction barriers had already been put up. He smiled and took off knowing that he had to get to work.
