Wow! Now there was a whirlwind entry for this edition! ;) And I'm guessing the whole 'need to know' thing never changed... right? ;) Thanx so much for sharing, my lady -- as always, much enjoyed! ;) Yvette

Thank you, Yvette. The Need to know continued into our marriage. I sort of broke him for doing it to me, but I was the way he operated with others.

Beth,
What a great story. They did things so differently back in 1955. It was the time of ladies. It sounded like you had a full senior year with the trip and all the parties you went to.
Well done my friend

I think I would be slightly annoyed if my partner introduced me to their parents without informing me first, I haven't been in that position yet, but I can imagine it can be quite a scary moment first time. A well written piece, Beth, I enjoyed reading it.

All the 'honor' parties surprised me.
Well written. I think the entire collection will make a fine book, very descriptive of the era and region in terms of growing up rural.
Best wishes.

Excellent chapter with good form and composition. Great character and plot development. I'm enjoying reading about your life. Good word imagery easy to visualize.

Evan's parents seem elderly. I can just imagine you dressed in your finery Beth when you were young. I liked your last paragraph to give us a sense of timing here with those poignant events almost 70 years ago, a pleasure to read, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly. His parents were about twenty years older than mine, but he did have a ten-year sister born while his mom was in menopause. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I can't believe he sprung that on you without any warning. I guess you loved him and knew you could adapt to his lack of communication ways. I'm glad you did the senior play and am sorry you were still plagued by that jealous rival for play roles!

Thank you, Helen. I would have liked to have been prepared, but I didn't get too upset since they seemed nice. He did warn me when he wanted me to meet his sisters. Put me on your prayer list. I have shingles and not only external surface pain, burning and itching but deep burning pain in my back and shoulder that feel like nerve pain. It may be internal shingles as well. I can't sleep.

Oh no! Okay! Will be praying!
I think we need to have people rotate the prayer chain here.
Praying for you! I had shingles and know what it's like. 💖🙏

You draw me into your world. I was born into your world in August. I liked being born in 1955. I always used to say that I would never forget when I was born because I am like the speed limit. 1955. Then they changed the speed limit to 70 how rude of them. Good work here. Karen

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
I want to move into Evans house myself. It sounds like perfection to me. I love hearing about all the beginnings taking place in 1955. I was born in 1956 and that was very interesting to me. Great chapter
