Nance Lane

During the first year that honey and I were married we moved 5 times. I think I should have know   that something wasn't kosher in our household. We or should I say honey liked to move. Granted the first time we both wanted to move due to privacy issues, the second place we ran out of money and could not afford. The third was ok but we moved to the fourth due to a newer place as I was working and money was better. But, the owner of the new apartment decided that he would go through our apt and check us out. I came home early one day and there he was, in our bedroom and looking through our drawers. I lit into him and  told him he had no right to enter and go through our things!!!! We moved about 3 doors down to an adorable little house. Wish we had bought it as the owner wanted to sell it to us for $5000. And even was going to finance it!! Were we stupid or what, we passed it up!!!! But we enjoyed living  there and I celebrated my 21st birthday.  Mom , dad  and my brothers and sisters came to Nashville to celebrate my birthday. It was a wonderful visit. In fact, Kathy my sister stayed with us and helped with caring for Windy while I worked. Kathy was the sweetest sister who loved Windy and cared well for her. I do not think I ever thanked her enough for all she did for me that summer. I was going through a very rough time. My friend Paulette had helped me to find a job at the First American Bank as a bookkeeper..I don't think I ever thanked her enough for helping me  either. Thank you my friend. But as much as I appreciated that job, it was not a job for me. I had the worst time being neat, tidy and perfect. As I am not tidy, neat or perfect..I am an altered person!!! Just check out my altered art that I do!!!! Anyway I had to work some pretty long hours and Kathy , my sister was there to help me. Kathy, I love you so much and hope that I was good to you that summer. Honey slept all day and worked at night and I worked all day and slept some of the night!!!
Any way our life was to take a change in just a few months forever leading  us on a path, sometimes going straight and sometimes we were in a rut but we kept on going. God did bless us, gave us some of the most wonderful pastorates  and some not so good. Such is life.
Thank you grandpa for listening to this little girls chatter. love you  J
