Babysitting & Potty Time

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Eternal Love | 2 comments

There is a beauty to living out in the country in a little white farmhouse. Scotty had fields to run and play in, but only if Frank and I were watching him closely. Our friend, Tommy, the head coach, spent a lot of time at our house. Frank and he had dug a hole to put hot mesquite wood coals into after they had started a fire next to the pit with the wood. Once they had enough coals in the pit, they placed a wire rack on top of the hole to cook hamburger patties or hot dogs. We would all gather around the fire, talk, and then eat when the hamburgers or hot dogs had finished cooking....

Life Lessons & Hail

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Eternal Love | 6 comments

There was never a dull moment while we lived in La Pryor, and we thanked God for that. Frank loved basketball. I think of all of the sports he played, basketball was his favorite. He had the most beautiful hook shot, and he tried hard to teach me how to do it, but to no avail. Time would only tell if Scotty would take after Frank or me in shooting the hook shot, but we prayed Scotty had more of Frank’s genes for playing basketball. Frank was a great coach and respected by his players as a fair coach, who would teach them the game but was never afraid to discipline them in a just...

Moving to Hubbard

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Eternal Love | 4 comments

Early in August, Frank, Mark, and I loaded into our car then headed to La Pryor from Hico, Texas. Knowing that it was going to be a very long trip with lots of packing to do when we got to La Pryor, Frank and I decided to ask my parents to keep our two and a half-year-old son, Scotty. Frank, Mark, and I would drive the five to six-hour trip to La Pryor, and then while I packed up our things for moving, the guys would go to Uvalde to rent a U-Haul truck to move our priceless possessions. We arrived in La Pryor a little past noon, ate lunch at the small restaurant in town, then the guys...

Life of a Coach

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Eternal Love | 2 comments

Frank, Scotty, and I only had a few days to settle into our new home, and then Frank had to get busy with his coaching duties. Our home was in town, which was great. If you stood on our front porch facing the road, there was a church across the street. On the right side of our home was a Daycare, and on the left side of our home was another house which happened to be our landlord’s house. The only immediate problem that we faced was we had to remind Scotty that the trees in our front yard were not his very own personal tinkling toilets. I thanked Frank daily for teaching him that. ...

Pool Time Fun

End of the school year was fast approaching, and soon, it would be summertime. Frank, Scotty, and I had looked at some homes on the weekends that were for sale. We liked living in Hubbard and had decided to stay a while if everything worked out, and we found a home in our price range. We loved the house we were living in, but it was not for sale because it was tied up in a will. So, we just kept looking. Before school was out, Frank and the head coach inventoried the equipment from all of the sports then they ordered what needed replacing. Frank would have only a few responsibilities in the...
