Just Shy of Harmony
“People stayed up late to watch the news on Friday, then went to bed and awoke to find eight inches of snow piled on the ground.
Children all over town rummaged through garages looking for their sleds, then headed over to the park to the sledding hill above the basketball court. Charlie Gardner dug Sam’s old Radio Flyer out from behind the lawn mower. He sanded the rust from the runners with steel wool, then waxed them slick with a stubby candle. He pulled the sled over to Sam’s house, and he an...d Sam took Levi and Addison to the park.
Sam had intended to go to the office, but he decided to take the day off instead. He’s been doing that quite a bit lately, and the world hasn’t ended. He’s even stopped going to the men’s breakfast at church. That’s because Dale Hinshaw, the head trustee, complains about all the work that needs doing around the place, and Sam ends up spending the day fixing the plumbing or waxing floors or painting a Sunday school room.
So he’s stopped going.MoreLess
