Callie

The strawberry blonde waved goodbye to the moving van as it rolled on down the road. She was now the new owner of this big, beautiful house.

She had gotten it for a deal, and had just finished unpacking all of her boxes. There weren't that many, which had made that quick. There were 8 beatiful acres, including a kennel, barn, pasture, and numerous trails throughout the woods beyond the farthest edge of the pasture. It was paradise.

She turned from the street and went inside the house. It was cold out, so lit a small fire in the fancy stone hearth. Curling up in an old armchair, she opened her book to read for a while.

The next morning, Callie rose at 7:30 to go to work at her new position as a vet in the clinic down town.

She was not used to awakening so early, and she took her time getting ready.

She walked out into the driveway and climbed into her Toyota Highlander. She backed out, and then headed for the clinic.
