Fitbit and Me, DIY Widow’s Blog

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in The Widow's Blog | 0 comments

While out shopping with my Daughter-in-law and Grandson a few days ago, a conversation came up about getting fit. Having always been a person who likes to workout, I have gotten lax on doing just that. Since I have started sharing blogs and chapters of the book I am writing on this website, my exercise routine has suffered some, make that close to “nil”. I seem to get lost in writing and learning about how this website works then realize I have been sitting in front of the computer for hours. Seems the only things getting exercise are my fingers. Anyway, the discussion got...

What’s Going On?, DIY Widow

What Has Happen with My Generation? I know every older generation thinks the next younger generation has gone absolutely “bat crazy” and not responsible but that is not really true. Every generation has its own music, new electronics, cars, movies, and more which is just okay with me. It just means as a world we are moving forward in our ability to think and the intelligence to learn, not backward. My generation’s job is supposed to be the fall-back backbone for the younger generations by making sure we instill values of great humanity, consideration for others, kindness...

What Is Really Important? As I am typing a new chapter called, Going to the Chapel, about my own Wedding which can be found on this website under Love Letters from the Heart, I began wondering just what is really the most important thing about anyone’s Wedding?

Does the Bride’s Dad and Mom or the Groom’s Dad and Mom have to go broke? What if a couple is paying for their own Wedding, are they to start their...

Time was moving very fast for us now, and we had so much to do before Frank would leave for Army Basic Training. We only had eleven more days to spend together before Frank would go. I knew some of Frank’s family from the church, but others who lived in close nearby towns wanted to meet me and were inviting us to their homes for supper. An Aunt and Uncle of Frank’s who lived in Sweeny, Texas, were the first to invite us to supper. Frank and I had a great time at his Uncle and Aunt’s home in Sweeny, and after it got dark, we left their home then headed back to Van Vleck....

More Letters from Basic, 1968

The next letters Frank wrote was after he had been in basic training for one week. I was so excited when the next two letters finally arrived. March 3, 1968 Dear Nancy, Last night had to be the loneliest night of my life. It was Saturday night, and everyone was sad because they were all thinking about how it was last Saturday night, and they were all wishing they were home. Darling, I missed you so much I almost died. I met some nice guys who have become some real buddies. This one who sleeps next to mine and Jimmy’s bunk has been going with his girl for three years, and we...
