OCTOBER 6, 1860
Michael rode into town after finishing his chores. He stopped Bear in front of the boutique. Michael smiled at the new owner as he shut the door behind him. "Hello, my name is Michael. I was hoping you could help me get a costume together for the party?"
"I sure can. Here's a list of what's not taken, and I'm Grace." She handed Michael the list.
Michael looked the list over and said, "A Dragon sounds like fun."
"Alright a dragon it is." Grace replied and took Michael�s measurements. "It was nice meeting you, Michael. I�ll have it ready by the end of next week for you. "
"Thank you. I'll be back to pick it up then. It was nice meeting you, too." Michael said as he left the store.
He mounted up and rode back to the ranch.
