Car

Times have changed so many things. I was brought up when the men took care of the cars.
Most of our married life we have had two vehicles. The car for me and the family and Phil had his truck. We women didn’t know how to pump gas. We went to the station and they had an attendant who would fill your tank, wash your windshield and check under your hood. I still depended on Phil to keep it up. The other day I discovered that my proof of insurance that I carry in my glove compartment was for last year. I checked in my check book and found out that I did send in my Ins. payment. I guess I threw the wrong paper away. So I called the Ins. Co. and they E-mailed me a statement and said I would be getting my proof of Ins. In the mail. Then the next day I noticed that my inspection sticker had expired in July. I knew that we were planning on going on a trip so I ask Phil if we needed an oil change. He told me to go and check the mileage of the last time I had an oil and lube job. We found out that we should have had it done 1,000 miles earlier. So I went and got a sticker and a lube and oil change. This has really woke me up. Just think what if I had been stopped for speeding. They could have nailed me for not having my inspection sticker and not having my proof of Ins. Thank the Lord he took care of me. I need to learn to be responsible for my car. Phil is always telling me that I may not always have him around.
What do you younger women think? Do you think we should be responsible for keeping the car up?

Homes

When Phil ask Mother if he could marry me, her reply was yes when you build a house, so Phil built our first home in my Mother's back yard before we got married. We got married 8-24-51 and moved in our little 2rm & bath house. We moved into our 2nd home in the fall of 1954 'till the spring 1955. Then we moved back to our first home. In Nov.1955 we moved to our 3rd home. In Feb.1967 we moved to Seminole and rented our 4th house. This is the only house we rented. We lived there for 8 mo. Then Phil bought 3 acres of land about 11 miles S.W. of Seminole. we bought 2 2bedrm houses in Midland and moved them out in the country. Phil connected them together and we had a 4 bedrm and 2 bath house. In 1973 we moved to Kermit our 6th home. we bought our current home in Sept. 89, moved there in 1990. It took several months to remodel. We have been married 56 years and have lived in 7 houses.
