Loxley and Robin |
Meet
Robin and Loxley (Robin is the one in the hat). Both of them called the open countryside home,
living in a large white two-story house with a black-shingled roof with an open
view from horizon to horizon, and both would have been perfectly happy to have
it that way forever.
But
things don't always work out like we would wish, and alas, things happened and
the two found themselves in the throes of preparing for the biggest change
either of them had ever known. All their
things had to be gone through, and many things they found could not be kept. A huge dumpster was backed into the driveway,
and gradually it was filled with many of the things that they could not keep,
and the rest of the things left in stages, going to various resale stores. Then one day a truck came with a crate on the
back, and then it left, and most of the things they were keeping left with it. And then the house felt very, very empty and
cold, because all that was left were the suitcases that they would be bringing
with them on the plane. But there was
still a bit of time left before the big move, and there were still a few things
to do…
