Pool Time Fun

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Eternal Love | 6 comments

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...

Snowball & the Click

Frank and I were good at working together, and had fun doing so with each other. Frank loved to get a rise out of me because he knew that I was a spitfire, but he also knew that all he had to do was flash his amazing dimples at me to put out the spitfire. Frank would learn one more thing about me that I did not know about myself. The summer was coming to an end, and Frank had signed up to go to Coaching School in Dallas, Texas. My sister-in-law and her two girls had come to visit with Scotty and me while Frank was in Dallas. One of my nieces was the same age as Scotty, and the other one...

Matching the Eyes

With Christmas and New Years celebrated, Springtime of 1978 had begun for Frank, Scotty, and I in Hubbard, Texas. All of the trees were putting on new leaves, the bushes were needing trimming, and the grass needed mowing. Since it was a beautiful Spring day, Frank, Scotty, and I all went outside to spend the day. Frank and I loved to work in our yard, and for the first time, it was actually our yard. Scotty was busy playing on his swing set in the back yard or riding his hot wheel on the sidewalk in the front yard. Frank decided to mow the grass first while I worked on cleaning out the...

Slipping & Sliding

Frank, Scotty, and I fell into a more normal routine. It was good only to have yard maintenance work to do for awhile Although everything but the toilets got taken off of the sewer system, we figured the yard would always stay pretty and green because of the washing machine, sinks, and shower water running through a pipe that had a long flexible hose on the end of it. Also, the trailer house had a brand new dishwasher, but with the sewer situation, I never got to use it. You know what? I never really minded it. Washing dishes has never been a burden to me, and I still do not have a...

Brake & Tonsils

Our days were beginning to become routine. Frank was busy working shift work, Scotty was going to school, and I was planting flowerbeds around the yard. With all of us in different places during the daytime, Frank became concerned that we needed another vehicle. If I needed the car, I would take Frank to work, but this did not take care of the emergencies that might come up. With Scotty three miles away in school and the knowledge that I might try to take on projects at the house without using good judgment, Frank decided that we needed another vehicle. This man knew me way too well. Frank...
