What Is Happening?

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in CedarChest | 8 comments

Not sure why there is a new light, then repeated darkness that comes into this home. When it first gets light, there are a lot of sounds and movement going on in the house. The boys seem to be the ones moving quickly and being the loudest. Other than laughing and singing my young woman is reasonably quiet. Daddy and Mom have to tell those boys to settle down all of the time. Although after a little while, the house becomes quiet, and for a long time, no voices are heard, but then suddenly like before, all the different noises return. Usually, the sounds and noise stop once the house...

I Am Being Invaded

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in The Widow's Blog | 12 comments

Well, the Widow is under attack. Not by just one invader, but several! The invasion started with lots and lots of rain. I welcomed the first six inches, but after the next ten inches, I knew that there would be an invasion of one culprit, the bigger than bats divebombing Mosquitoes. As expected, the Mosquitoes came. They hovered under the trees during the day time, so they could divebomb me if or when I walked outside to sit in the shade. At night they thrilled at swarming around the doors, to trap me inside the house and act as watchdogs to keep all visitors at bay. In retaliation, I...

Fiction, Non-fiction, & A Memoir

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Blog | 4 comments

For some strange reason, as I tried to sleep last night, my mind decided to think about the difference between the writing of Fiction, Non-Fiction, or a Memoir. I have no idea why my brain decided to think about that, but half the time, I cannot control what my mind thinks about if or when it works. What is the writing of Fiction? Is it just made up by the crafty brilliant minds of authors, or is it real-life experiences hidden in the embellishment of fiction to hide the truth and protect the original characters. Many writers have said that all Fiction has some truth in it. Other writers...

Humbled & Thankful

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Blog | 2 comments

Today is Wednesday, May 8th, 2019. Fifty-one years ago on Wednesday on May 8th, 1968 a young man and a young woman stood at the front of the church confessing their love for each other and exchanging their marriage vowels in front of their families, friends, and God. That day in Van Vleck, Texas at the Methodist Church Nancy Blakley and Frank Henderson became Mr. & Mrs. Loren Frank Henderson, Jr. As you all know, I am in the process of writing a Memoir of Frank and my love story. Two books have been published and are available as autographed books to purchase on this website. Today, on...

Meme Bought Silly String

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in The Widow's Blog | 6 comments

First of all, who is Meme? The name Meme is what my first Grandson gave me when he was little. When he would ask me for something, it would come out as “Me. Me.” Since I always answered that by giving him something, my name to him became Meme. So from then on all of my Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren have called me, Meme, at least to my face. Lord knows what else they might call me when I’m not around, but then the possibilities are far too many to imagine. My Youngest Great Grandson turned one on May 1, 2019, and a birthday party was held for him April 28, 2019....
