I knew we must be cousins. Texas is still in your blood. Your first true romance was here. You encapsulated the teenaged angst just right. Enjoy the new week. Karen

Thank you Karen. I did like Texas. I have gone to other parts since that time and I do have a lot of kin people there. Texas is so big it has a little bit of everything. Thanks for a great review.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
I agree. Telling was the right choice for you in this one.
It isn't always possible to get the timing, and the chemistry lined up. - You could go two ways regarding commas in this sentence. Either two of them bookending the parenthetical phrase - and the chemistry - lined up... or none and just let the words fly. (my opinion)
Best wishes.

Thank you, Chuck. I got a laugh about your eating the prop. I guess high school in those day was very much the same for all us. I was a seat mate in first grade to a little girl was always being punished for talking. The teacher sent her to the coat room as punishment and she ate all of food kids had brough in their lunches. Thank for the six stars.

This is very well written and I very much enjoyed listening to it. It sounds like it was cut a trip back to Mississippi from Texas. May you have a lovely weekend and may God bless you. Patricia.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Another interesting chapter in your life story. As always you fill it in with such an amazing recollection of facts. I did notice one minor typo:
I was driving Dad's car car (extra word)
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your memoirs with us. I really enjoy reading them. You're doing a good job writing them.
It isn't always possible to get the timing and the chemistry lined up. (comma needed after 'timing')

Comment from Ric Myworld
It's almost scary how we flip through the chapters of our own lives, most just humdrum happenings that really don't matter much, but other changes hanging with us forever. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Ric. Yes, there is a lot or repetition which isn't worth recording and other things you would prefer to not remember.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I must look out for the next chapter to see what it was that changed your life. I had to smile at your aunt keeping watch on you as you sat in the back seat with Dave. My dad took me to meet my first date, we were going to the movies, and then he picked me up when it ended. No messing around allowed. They were good days, though, weren't they? Better than today. Life was simple, it all changed when social media hit the world with it's mobile phones, computers, and all the rest, now AI. I think it was much nicer before all that came together. I enjoyed reading this, my friend. I'm hoping to read the next part of your novel--tomorrow? Warmest hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xx
one little nit...
