by David Frizzell and Shelly West.
My Hubby was a farm boy from Oklahoma. I am an Air Force Brat. To me a farm was something one drove past, and Oklahoma was a state somewhere west or east or whatever from where I was. We met at an exit on I-40 - long story there. He was just the sweetest thing! Not bad on the eyes, either. Sharp as a tack, too!
We were married only two months after we met and our marriage lasted 42 years until cancer took him from me.
I still love him and I always will.

In a ‘72 Bug I bought with my last two Army checks. I let my foot off the brake and bumped into the car ahead of me. I went up to apologize (I had next to no insurance) and the girl laughed. She could see us kissing from the headlights on the car behind us. Great car. Kick ass Circuit City stereo I paid off at least three times.

"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa...."
