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...

We did not want a privacy fence because we liked the feeling of openness, but...

Once our son graduated from Junior High then went into High School, his name changed from Scotty to Scott. Our little boy had now become a young man, and it was as if the name change signaled his coming of age. Frank and I were busy following Scott around watching his activities and the sports he played. Although there was little time for much else, we found a way to be involved in the community and church. Frank ran for a position on the SISD School Board. We made homemade plywood signs, painted them with Frank’s name and the school board position he was running for, then staked them...
