Nails and Brakes When I got up that morning with a stopped up head, allergies. After drinking several cups of coffee, I did the treadmill then made a grocery list while waiting for the Great Granddaughter to arrive. When she arrived I found out from my Oldest Grandson, Matt, that my next to youngest Grandson, Mav, had broken his wrist while playing soccer the night before but he told me not to worry. Right! Baby girl and I loaded into the car to go to the grocery store. While backing out I noticed the low tire warning light on, so I got out and checked the tires. They all...

Keys Anybody After my vehicle left on the wrecker late in the evening. I waited until noon the next day to check on my vehicle thinking it would give them time to access the problem with the brake. When Ford Service Department answered after giving them my info, they told me that they could not find my vehicle. Well now, that was not the information I was expecting to hear from them.

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Love Letters | 4 comments

As President of the MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship), Frank decided to plan some fun events for us all. Since Frank’s Dad owned hay trucks, Frank decided it would be fun to have a hayride. After borrowing his Dad’s hay truck, Frank loaded it with bales of hay placed around all sides so that everyone could sit on top of the hay bales then lean back on the sides of the truck. Frank got in the truck and then headed to my house to pick me up. Then, we drove to the church to pick up all of the other MYF members. When we arrived at the church, everyone was anxiously waiting, then...
