At Granny's House Page #4

It's been nice having you here.

It just took some

getting used to.

That's understandable.

Change can be difficult.

Exactly, thanks

for understanding.

I wanted to talk to you

about your eternal salvation.

Excellent!

Pick up my son from

my mom and dad's house,

and this really saves on hotels.

And then you're

out of here at dawn?

I'm sorry.

Uhm yeah, uh, tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning.

That is so neat.

I always thought being a

vet would be fascinating.

It is, I'm blessed to be

where I'm at in my life.

I know the feeling.

So, how did you get

started in this line of work?

Well, it was actually when

I was just a little girl.

I was outside playing,

when I heard the sound

of brakes screeching

in the street.

When I got there, I found

that someone had hit a dog

and then just drove

away and left it.

Horrible!

How could someone

do such a thing?

I have no idea.

Anyway, I picked it up

and carried it home.

My mom and I took it to the vet,

and then I took care of it.

You nursed it back to life?

What a wonderful story.

I had a dog when

I was a little girl.

We should get a dog.

A dog?

Oh dear no, they

require a lot of care.

What do you think?

Did you hear what I said?

You went to the dogs

there for a moment.

Yes.

They require a lot of care.

And you seemed like

such a nice lady.

I really liked your dog story.

Feel and

breathe, that is the key.

Now open your eyes.

And how do you feel?

Very good, I feel good.

Say now, look behind you.

Looks like we

might have visitors.

Wonderful.

What else do you see?

When did

you say they would be here?

15 minutes ago.

You're as nervous

as a long-tailed cat

in a room full of

rocking chairs.

Oh, that must be them.

What were their names again?

Ted and Linda steiner.

Come on in, have a seat.

Thank you.

Hmm-mmm.

So, what brings you to Haley?

Well, we're kinda in transition.

So we decided to travel a bit.

What he means is,

I'm in-between jobs.

And since he can

work from anywhere,

we have some flexibility.

Oh, and what kind of job...

what do you do?

Are you some sort of consultant?

Uh yeah, I guess you

could call me that.

I work in it.

Managing company's networks.

Boring tech stuff.

No, not all.

I worked in it before.

Fascinating.

To answer your question,

I worked in a nonprofit,

advocating literacy.

Now that sounds

like a rewarding job.

Well rather, worked,

I got downsized.

Oh...

So, here we are.

Put our life in storage

and left the big city.

To Haley, and beyond I suppose.

Meanwhile I'm still

looking for a job,

I'm sending out resumes,

making phone calls.

Amazing what you can

do with the Internet now.

Indeed.
