Elbow Grease - Dorothy and Fritz
After hearing Aaron talk about spring being on the way, Dorothy had already started thinking about spring cleaning. The church looked pretty decent, all things considered, but the winter snow and slush had definitely taken a toll on the carpet and flooring. Although she knew Papa wouldn’t blame her for it, she couldn’t help but think that they could use an extra set of hands to clean everything up.
After she’d gotten an estimate done up, she had decided to call and offer the job of carpet cleaning and floor waxing to one of the local cleaners. She didn’t think they’d ever met before, but she was more than happy when he’d offered to give her a deal on the place.
As silly as it might be to some people, Dorothy couldn’t help but be excited to see Papa’s face when he came home and saw how nice the church was looking. Sure, it meant spending some of her own money, but it would definitely be worth it in the end.
Since she had asked Fritz to arrive in the morning, she had come a bit earlier and put on a pot of tea, in case he might like something to help wake up. With a fresh pot steeping in the kitchen, she headed out into the church’s main area to wait for his arrival.
