...Sutherlands, Larry and Linda, middle Americans, are getting up in years. Larry, retired, likes to putter around the lawn with his dog, Trinket. Linda's venue is her kitchen, well-equipped, with microwave and freezer. Their home is comfy and welcoming, with wall-to-wall carpeting, a floral arrangement in the front window, wind chimes at the door and an illuminated sign hanging out the front.
