 Starting a new life after 40(part 2).txt hetro sex, oral sex, older
woman/youger man

   I got another glass of wine and went out to sit on the wrap around
porch, even though it was July, the air was nippy at this time of the
evening, nights are often pretty cool in Oregon, especially here on the
cost.  Most mornings you even need to make a fire in the fireplace to take
the chill out of the house.  That is what the Taylors had told me, and they
left me lots of firewood already sitting in the garage.

   It was so peaceful out there, I could hear the cars from the nearby
road, but there was no other sounds to he heard.  There was a yard light
but it was on the front side of the house, so it was rather dark back here,
I could see a million stars in the sky.  I thought I had died and gone to
heaven.  Thinking about all that had happened to me in the past week. 
Leaving Tom, traveling all the way to Oregon before my gut instinct told me
that I was where I was meant to be.  Finding the Taylors and getting the
chance to live in this wonderful home, rent free, all I had to do now was
find me a job, start saving money to buy my own home, and I was set.  As
for Steve, I wasn't sure how long this fling with him would last.  He is so
much younger than me, I figure him to be in his late 20's maybe early 30's.
He seemed like a man that had his head on straight but who can tell with
people now days.  I thought my life was settled also until now, everything
seemed to be turned upside down for me.  I had to get my life in order
first and then see what happens from there.  But I knew I couldn't let lust
lead me astray, I have to make sure that I get things going for myself,
then if there is any time left, I could maybe see where Steve would fit in.
If he even wanted to fit in, or was I just an easy fuck for him, someone
for him to go brag to all his buddies about.  I have learned not to trust
men until they prove themself to me.  And I didn't know anything about
Steve other than he was a fantastic lover, better than Tom had ever been or
could ever hope to be.  But I have to think with my head, not let his great
looks and being great at sex, lead me to believe he is a great person.

   I sat out there with a blanket wrapped around my legs and feet, sipping
the wine and must have fell asleep.  The next think I knew, Steve was
kissing me on the cheek.  I jumped up, not sure of where I was or what was
going on.  I had to wake up and get my bearings.

   Steve was just standing there smiling at me.  "I didn't mean to wake you
Beth.  But I need to go home and get a shower, it is almost time to get
up."

   I said, "Oh my gosh what time is it ?"

   He said, "Almost 5 am, but I usually wake up by 6 so I can get my
shower, do what homework I didn't do the night before, then head to school
by 8".

   I said, "Wow I was sitting out here thinking and enjoying the night, I
can't believe it is 5am already".

   Steve just laughed and said well good thing you had that blanket to keep
your legs from freezing it is quite cold out here".

   I said, "No way, this is nice, real nice compared to Texas.  In Texas it
is not this cool except in the winter time.  *laughing* I thought when the
Taylors said it got cold enough for a fire that they meant like in the
40's. I can't see myself making a fire today".

   Steve got that same cocky little grin on his face and said, "Well I know
of one fire you might want to think about having later this evening when I
come in from school and work".

   I thought, "damn it that is all he wants me for is sex isn't it".  So I
just smiled up at him and said, "Well we might have to see about that.  I
don't know how tired I will be, I have to beat the payment today looking
for a job.  Just hope I get one, so I don't have to starve, or go without
utilities".

   He said, "Oh now there is no way I will let that happen, I'd take care
of you if you needed me to.  So don't worry about that any".

   I wasn't sure what he really meant by that, I mean he was so young, what
could he know about having responsibilities.  He probably left his dad &
mom's house and right into the house he was in now, so he had never had to
take care of anyone other than himself.

   I said, "Can I ask you a personal question".

   "Sure you can ask me anything you want, I won't mind at all".  He said

   I hesitated a minute before saying, "Well I am a 45 year old woman, I
can imagine your own mother is about my age maybe even younger.  Just how
old are you anyway".I asked with a smile

   He *laughed* "I wondered if you was going to get around to asking me
that before I told you.  I am almost 26 will be real soon.  But does the
age thing bother you now, after yesterday and last night"?  then there was
that cocky grin of his again.

   "Well I guess at the time, I wasn't thinking about anything other than
the sex".  *Laughing* now I felt like I shouldn't have even asked him, I
mean I was the older person here and should have thought before I spoke.

   He was standing there smiling at me, "Well I don't care anything about
the age difference, I have always been older than my years, *laughing* well
you know what I meant.  And if your wondering if I am going to go brag to
everyone that I made it with an older woman.  I have more morals that to do
something so childish, please trust me on this.  Anything we do, is between
you and I, nobody else will know about it.  This is private stuff not to be
shared with others is how I see it.  I have always been that way, not that
there have been lots of woman in my life".  *shy smile*

   That kinda made me feel better, but it was going to take more than him
just saying that to me to make me believe it.  He had to earn my trust,
that is something that can take a lifetime to earn, and a split second to
lose.  "Well Steve, I will give you a chance, but you have to prove
yourself to me, as I have no trust in anyone other than myself right now".

   "That is fine, I can't blame you for that.  Just give me a chance is all
I ask.  I don't know what is happening but I feel like we were meant to
meet, and I have a feeling we will get along just fine.  Just know that if
you ever have a question about anything, all you have to do is ask, I will
never lie to you about anything." he replied.

   I wondered how in the world he could be saying all this, after me
thinking these same things to myself last night, I wonder if I talked in my
sleep.  I know I never had before.  Oh well as long as we were on the same
page here, what can go wrong.

   I said, "Steve that is all I can ask of you, and know that I will not
lie to you either.  I hate someone that feels like they have to lie, when
someone tells a lie once, they have to continue telling a lie to cover up
for the first one.  And I have always been the type that if I find out I
have been lied to by someone, then that person will never have my trust
again".

   With that, I glanced at the clock and said, "Steve if your going to have
time to study and geta shower you better hurry.  We can talk more tonight
when you come in if you want to".

   Steve said, "That is exactly what I want to do, spend more time getting
to know you and you to know me, I don't want this to be just a sexual
relationship we have".

   Shocked, I thought now why would a good looking young man like him want
to spend time with me when I know there has to be young women his own age
at the college he goes to.

   So I said, "Steve now if you have other plans or someone else to see,
then please don't rush back home tonight.  I will be perfectly fine here
alone.  I am not scared one bit to be here alone".

   Steve shook his head, "Damn it woman I told you yesterday, that I don't
have a girlfriend, been too busy to look for one, and now with you living
right next door.  *wink* I won't have to look any further, seems I found
what I want and need".

   I just smiled at him, stood up and grabbed his hand thinking to myself,
"now if we had not taken so much time talking we could have enjoyed some
sex time.  Then I thought "now damn it Beth, you need to not think about
sex all the time, this man just might be someone you will enjoy spending
time with".  So I walked him to the door, kissed him on the lips lightly
and said, "Have a nice day today, try to get some studies done, don't work
too hard and please be careful coming home tonight".

   He smiled and said, "Oh I will be careful, always am".  And with that he
strolled over to his house, and in about an hour I heard him start his
jeep, beep his horn twice and drove off.

   I got a shower myself, dressed in a nice dress with low heals, fixed my
hair and applied some makeup and went to Coos Bay, in search of a job. 
Just about anything would work for now, I felt like as hard as I had been
working that it was about time I get something that would be a little
easier on me, I didn't want to just take any old job, but I could be a
little picky now that I had no rent, and didn't need alot of money since I
was by myself.

   When I got to Coos Bay, I went straight to the employment agency, filled
out a stack of papers a mile high it seemed.  Waited for over an hour until
my name was called, then went back to sit at the desk of Jack Lambert.  He
was by then looking at my papers, and asking me questions about what kind
of job I would be happy with.  I told him I had been a nurse but that I
would prefer to have something where I wasn't on my feet 9 hours a day, and
it would also be nice to not have to see so many sick people, and death was
something I had seen too much of.  But that nursing was about all I had
ever done, other than being a housewife, and that in college I had taken
some bookkeeping but that had been so long ago, I had forgotten more than I
had learned I was afraid.

   Mr Lambert was listening to me talk, and also looking at the computer
screen, typing in a few things and then mostly just scrolling, looking to
see what all they had to offer me.  "Where is it that you live now Mrs. 
White ?"

   I said, "Please call me Beth, that Mrs is going to be no longer as soon
as I can get residence and then file for a divorce, and I am staying out in
Charleston right now, house sitting for the next 6 months to a year, then I
plan to rent or buy a house of my own, in this same area hopefully close to
Charleston, so I can be close to the beach still".

   Mr Lambert said, "Hmmm well I see here where one of the nursing homes
needs nurses on the 11pm-7am shift, then there is another nursing home
where they need someone on that same shift and also the 3pm-11pm shift,
then the hospital needs nurses all shifts as I am sure your aware hospitals
always seen to have a shortage of nurses.  Then lets see, Oh hey, the
Charleston school is needing a nurse to work this coming up year, the other
one retired last year.  But that won't be for another 2 months until school
starts".

   I said, "Does it tell any of the requirments, wages, or benifits that
the school has to offer.  I have never worked anywhere other than a
hospital, but that does sound like it would be a little easier, not having
to stand all day, and knowing that the person is just a little sick not
going to possibly die soon".

   Mr Lambert said, "Let me look and see what all it does say.  Wages are
$900.00 a month, you would have dental, heath insurance, paid holiday, of
course weekends off and all holidays, plus spring break, and 3 months out
of each summer.  But if you get the job, the $900.00 a month will be year
round, it would be salary actually.  Plus you would work 8am-3:15pm
Monday-Friday".

   I thought "wow that is too good to be true".  So I asked him, "Where do
I apply at, and when would I know if I get the job, I mean how soon.  I'd
love to have the chance for this job but I can't hold off getting a job for
the next 2 months, then find out I didn't get it".

   Mr Lambert said, "As a matter of fact you have already applied for it,
when you filled your paperwork out here, that is all there is to it, since
modern day computers came about.  All we do is send this information to
anyone you want to apply to that I just told you about, and they look it
over, send us a reply back, sometimes within minutes and sometimes it has
taken up to 2 days.  But never longer than that".

   I said "Then by all means, please put me down for the school nurse, I
can make do for the next 2 months if I know I will have money coming in".

   Mr Lambert, typed something more into his computer, sat back and said,
"Well that about does it then Mrs White, Oh excuse me, Beth.  I will be
calling you as soon as I get an answer back, now you did put a phone number
down right.  Yep here it is right here, and do you have an answering
machine, cell phone or some other number where we can reach you at?"

   I had just been about to respond when his computer started beeping, I
looked at it like it was about to blow up, since I wasn't around computers
enough to know what was going on.

   Mr Lambert said, "Oh hold on here is a reply back with your name on it
already, there must have been someone at the school office working on
something today.  And well, congratulations Beth, looks like you have
yourself a new job".

   I was shocked, but I stood up and held out my hand to Mr Lambert, "Well
thank you very much this turned out to be the best week of my whole life it
seems like".  He shook my hand, then laughed as he walked me to the door
out.  "Well take care Beth, and I hope you enjoy your new job, your new
home, and Oregon.  Be careful, take care now, and God Bless You".

   I practically ran to the car, I was went to the store and bought a few
things that I seen the Taylors didn't have, then drove back to the house on
cloud 9.

   I didn't have much housework to do so ate a light lunch, drank some iced
tea and then I decided to take a book and go down on the beach.  I put on
my suit, grabbed a beach towel and off I went.  I had only been down there
about 3 hours when I heard someone whistling.  I thought, oh no I don't
really want company today.  So I stood got up and was gathering my things.

   The whistling stopped and Steve said, "well hello Beth, fancy me finding
you here, I looked in the alcove where you was yesterday, but didn't see
you so I assumed you was down here".

   I started laughing, "Well I only went there yesterday to hide, didn't
know I would be found so quickly.  But then today I was so happy I guess I
didn't even think about going back there and besides I have the house to
myself, I don't have to hide to do that again".

   Steve smiled big, "Well that is true, so you want to go back to the
house where there isn't any sand to get into places that is hard to get it
out of , *laughing by then*".

   I grinned at him, as I took his hand in mine and headed back through the
woods home.

   When we walked in the house, I asked him if he wanted something to eat,
since it was 6pm by then.  I wasn't even looked towards him, but I felt his
eyes on me, so I turned around and looked into his deep brown eyes, and I
seen the answer there without him even saying a word.  I took his hand and
led him down the hall to my room.

   I shoved him down on the bed, taking control.  I slipped my bathing suit
off, then proceded to remove his clothes.  I started with his shoes and
socks, tossing them over in the corner.

   He just layed there with that cocky grin on his face, I could tell he
was enjoying this as much as I was.  I then undid his pants and unzipped
them slowly, looking into his eyes the whole time.  I smiled at him and
licked my lips and made a slurping sound, which he laughed at, but I knew
it turned him on even more.  I grabbed his pants and yanked them as hard as
I could, dragging them all the way off of him.  His cock stood tall and
hard, ready to be kissed.  So I leaned down and kissed the tip of it, Steve
grabbed me by the back of the head and said, "Suck my cock baby, you know
you want it".

   And boy did I ever want it.  I licked all around it, and licked his
balls, sucking one of them into my mouth, making as much noise as I could
as I couldtell it was really making Steve harder and I was so wet and hot
by that time, I wanted his mouth on me.

   So I slid up on the bed with Steve and straddled his face.  I said "Ok
big boy, my pussy is needing some attention too you know".  And he didn't
need to be asked twice, he began to lick on my pussy lips, sucking on my
clit.  I took his hard throbbing cock into my mouth and was sucking it,
licking it, I was playing with his balls with my left hand and as I drew my
mouth away from his cock, I used my right hand to jerk on his cock, faster
and faster as he sucked on my clit.  God I felt like I was about to explode
any minute and cum all over his mouth.

   I started cumming about the same time Steve did, I shoved his cock back
in my mouth and swallowed all his cum, then licked any that spilled out
down onto his balls.  Steve was doing a darn good job of cleaning me up
also.  We both fell back on the bed at about the same time.

   He turned over to where we was facing each other and said, "Ok there was
dinner, are you about ready for desert now".  grinning like a kid in a toy
store.

   I could feel him getting hard again just from laying there close to each
other.  So I smiled grabbed him and kissed him hard and deep, we was
touching each other, he was tweeking my nipples about to drive me insane,
so I reached down and gave his balls a little squeeze.

   I could feel his cock was hard and ready to go again.  So I shoved it
deep inside my pussy and we started moving together.  I wanted on top so I
shoved him over a little and climbed on top without even missing a beat.  I
rode him slow and gentle, almost letting his cock fall out before sliding
back down again.

   He was just laying there letting me do all the work, which was fine
since I was in control that way, I went as slow as I wanted or as fast as I
wanted.  I rode him like that for about 10 minutes then I knew I was ready
to cum again.

   About this time he reached down and slid a finger inside my pussy and
was tickling my clit.  That did it, I screamed "I'm
cummingggggggggggg.....Oh Steve, please baby your driving me crazy.  So I
reached down and squeezed his balls and he started to cum also.  I started
riding him faster, and harder.  Ramming his cock as deep as it would go up
into my wet pussy, our bodies was slamming together.  Musky scent of sex
filled the room.  We both were drained of all out energy.

   We layed there a few minutes, then I asked Steve if he wanted to have a
shower then we could cook something for dinner.  He was more than ready by
then, we both needed food to build back some of our energy.

   We both took a shower together, washing each other off, kissing a
little, but we were both too tired at that point to even think about making
love again this soon.

   While we ate I told Steve about the job I was going to be getting in 2
months, told him that until then I would be lazy and relax on the beach,
maybe go site seeing.  He looked at me so seriously and said, "Beth I will
pay your bills until then so you won't be scared of them turning off the
power, and I'll buy groceries also".

   I said with a laugh, "Steve I have money, I'm not broke.  Oh no I could
have taken some other jobs but I didn't really like the hours, and I am
tired of being around dying people so much and this job will be easier on
my feet also, I won't have to be on my feet walking miles a day now".

   He smiled and said, "Well I just remember our conversation from this
morning, and I meant it then and mean it now, I will help you in any way I
can.  I want you to enjoy being here, and not have to worry about money
problems".

   I never told him how much money I had but I let him know that I was
finacially fine and I didn't need him to worry about that.  We had our
dinner, then took our glass of wine and went to sit on the inclosed porch.

   It was getting a little late, and I asked Steve if he wanted to sleep
over or did he need to go home.  He said that he really needed to go home,
do some homework, and get a good nights sleep as he had some finals coming
up soon he needed to study for.  So we kissed goodnight and he walked on
over to his house.  I rinsed off the dishes and placed them in the
dishwasher with the ones from last night, and started the machine.  I
decided I might clean up my room before going to bed myself early for a
change.  I was cleaning up, when I came across my *Toy bag* I laughed out
loud, and said, "well old girl you might as well put this thing away
somewhere looks like you won't be needing this fake shit anymore since you
have that young hot stud right next door, and he is wanting sex as much if
not more often as you are".  So I shoved it into the suitcase I had just
emptied and stuck it back in the closet where it would stay for at least
the next 6 months or longer.  As long as I was here, I wasn't planning to
go on any trips.  So I didn't need to keep the suitcase out anywhere close
anymore.

   The next 2 months flew by so fast I didn't realize one day from the
other.  The Taylors had called from Florida letting me know they were
there, and asking how things were at home.  I told them everything was
great, and thanked them again for letting me stay in their nice home.  They
asked me if I had seen Steve as he was hardly ever around.  I assured them
that Steve was the best neighbor anyone could ever ask for (boy was he
ever, but I wasn't about to tell them why).  They told me that if I needed
anything anything at all to just ask Steve, he was such a nice young boy he
would be happy to help me out.  Again I wasn't about to share that he was
more help than they could imagine.  We chatted a few minutes, I asked about
Glenn's sister, they said she was for sure going to take a long time to
heal, as her bones were so brittle from age.  They were not even sure that
she would be able to take care of herself even in a years time.  I said how
sorry I was to hear that.  But Martha said it was not going to bother them
at all to stay however long was needed as they really didn't have anything
other than the house to come back to.  Which made me feel comfortable in
knowing that I may get to stay here alot longer than I had first
anticipated.  After about 10 minutes of talking Martha said she needed to
hang up and cook dinner for them, she sounded like she was happy to be
needed for something and a help to someone else.

   I went to work at the school, the children were wonderful.  I enjoyed my
job very much.  And I loved being off on all weekends as Steve had no
school those days.  Over the past 2 months we had grown so close.  There
was not a day went by that we were not together.  Making love whenever we
chose, or just laying around the house like we owned it.  Doing what we
wanted when we wanted.  He still had to work.  But his summer classes had
ended about a week after I moved out there.  So now we really had alot of
time together.  We went on picnics, went for swims, went all over the
county when he had a day off.  I was worried that we had gotten so close, I
never intended to fall so hard for someone else.  In such a short time
especially.

   I came home from work one afternoon, it was drizzling rain as it often
does in Oregon.  That is one thing about Oregon it rains about 9 months out
of the year.  But it was a misty rain not the stormy rains like in Texas.
Steve had gotten home way before I did, and as soon as I pulled into the
garage, he yelled over at me to come to his place he had something to show
me.  So I told him I would be there soon, I needed to change clothes, and
take some stuff in the house.

   While I was in there I took a quick shower knowing that more than likely
we would end up spending the night there since it was a Friday night, if he
had to go to work in the morning I could just sleep in till I felt like
getting up.

   As soon as I walked out my door, he stepped out on his porch with a huge
smile on his face, I said "ok big boy what is the big mystery going on". 
He said "just get your butt on over here and you can see when you get
here".

   So I picked up the pace a little, knowing that he was sure happy about
something so I needed to hurry and get there.  When I walked in the room,
his table was set with china, there was candles on the table, wine
chilling, and salad already setting ready for us to eat.  I said "wow what
is the special occasion"?

   He grinned and said, "well we never really celebrated your new job, your
coming to live here, or us becoming such good friends".  I could hardly
contain myself, it was so sweet and very romantic settings.

   So we sat down to eat, he pulled my chair out.  Such a gentleman.  When
we finished our salad hejumped up and got a cassarole out of the oven that
he had already cooked just

   had it keeping warm.  Everything was so nice.  I had never had this kind
of treatment from any man before.  When we got done, he pulled my chair out
again, ushered me over to the sofa and sat me down.  He then bent down on
one knee and pulled my shoes off, then reached over and got a bottle of
hand lotion off the end table.  Poured some in his hands then proceded to
give me the best foot massage I had ever had, in fact I can only remember
having one other one in my whole life.  I almost fell asleep right there on
his couch.  But no, he had other plans.

   He stopped giving me the foot massage and started up my legs.  Rubbing
the lotion in real good on both of my legs, stopping just above the knee
caps.  I opened my eyes and looked down at him and he was smiling.  I knew
then that my night was far from being over.  He got up on the couch with me
and started to unbutton my blouse, he said now was time for theback
massage.

   So I layed down on my tummy and he straddled me.  He took some hand
lotion and rubbed it on my back working it in real good, all the way up to
my hair line, then started downward.

   When he got to my lower back he said, "We need to get these pants off of
you so I don't get them messy with this lotion".  So off the pants came,
slowly as his hands worked them down over my hips, and the all the way off.
There I layed with nothing on but a smile by then.  He said, "Well you
know, so I don't get any on my pants either, maybe I need to take my
clothes off as well".

   He started rubbing the lotion onto my lower back and then lower, by this
time it was all I could do not to moan out loud.  I knew he could tell it
was really exciting me, but I wanted him to move at his own pace since this
was his night.  He rubbed it over my bare ass, and then spread my legs
apart some so he could rub it on the inside of my thighs.  As he was
rubbing it into my thighs his fingers slipped into my pussy several times.
I could feel him getting aroused more and more.  So I knew that we couldn't
last much longer.

   He spread my legs a little wider and lifted my hips up off the couch.  I
reached and got a pillow and layed it under my head.  He lifted my hips a
little more then got in between my knees and took his fingers and played
with my pussy some more.  By this time I was almost begging him to put his
cock in me, I needed more than just his fingers by now.  He finally decided
he needed to have his cock seen about also, and he shoved it into my pussy,
slow and just a little at a time.

   I was trying to back into him to drive his cock deeper and deeper, but
he was backing away from me, torturing me so bad I was almost crying
wanting him so bad.  Finally he couldn't stand it any longer so he rammed
it in as far as it would go, his balls was slapping me on the pussy and we
was both moaning so loud, I was begging Steve to please fuck me fuck me
hader...Oh please baby, give it all to me..Slam it in deeper and faster..I
am about to cum baby.

   About that time Steve and I both came together.  Then we both fell down
on the couch, him on top of me, with his cock still buried in my pussy.  We
layed there for what seemed like an hour, until my legs fell asleep with
him on top of me.  So he got up and helped me up, and we went in and took a
shower together.

   We was soaping each other up and as he was washing my legs and pussy
off, I got excited again, so I grabbed the soap and was washing him, soaped
his cock up real good, stroking my hand up and down, up and down, until he
started to get hard in my hand.  He had me bend over and put my hands on
the back of the tub, and he entered me from behind again.

   We were bucking into each other, he was buried as deep as he could go,
our wet bodies slip sliding around, he was trying to hold on to my hips as
he was ramming his cock into me, he finally got a good hold and was ramming
it to me good, I took one hand off the tub and reached down and started
playing with my clit, I was so hot and wet Steve pounding into me so hard.

   I started to cum and told Steve, cum for me baby.  I am so ready to cum
but I want you to do it with me.  Just as I said that, he moaned and said,
"Beth baby I am cummmmming oh baby, ohhhh damn baby....Here it
cumssssssssssssss.  We came together, and cum ran out of my pussy and down
into the tub down the drain.  We finished showering, and got into bed.

   Steve was asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow.  I layed
awake a little while wondering.  "What did I do to deserve such a man like
Steve".  I know I went to sleep with a smile on my face that night for
sure.

   The next six months were the most wonderful time in my life.  Seeing
Steve everday, spending glorious nights with him making love almost
everyday, sometimes several times a night.  I had heard from the Taylors
several times over this time.  They seemed to really be enjoying their time
in Florida, in fact they even mentioned a few times how they didn't care if
they came back to Orgeon or not, then they would laugh so I was not sure
how serious they really was on that part.  I would have offered to buy them
out, but I was sure they would want more than I could pay for in this
lifetime for this place.

   Then tragedy struck.  The Taylors had been gone a little over 8 months
by now.  Life was going wonderful for me, good job, nice home to live in, I
was saving more money than I could have imagined, with Tom we never saved
this much money in 10 years.  But then we had car payments, insurance for
the cars, house, and life, then we had house payments, credit cards, cell
phone bills, groceries, seemed like there was always something and we never
had any to stick back into the savings.

   I came home from work one day real tired, Steve had to work the 3-11pm
shift, and we had decided that he would go straight home and into bed,
since he knew I was tired, and he knew he would be tired, even tho I was
off the next day, he had to double back at 7 am.  That is why I was
frightened when the phone rang at 5 am, I was sound asleep and not used to
the phone ringing at all, much less in the middle of the night.

   It was Martha.  Glenn had had a heart attack and he didn't make it.  I
felt so sorry for her, I asked if there was anything I could do.

   She said "well yes there is if you don't mind".

   I said "just say it and I'll see if I can do it or have it done".

   She said "I'd like you to put my place up for sale, Glenn and I had
talked about this a few months ago, I didn't want to worry you any, but he
has been seeing a doctor for his heart this past 3 months.  And we decided
that if something happened to either one of us while we was out here, that
we would be buried here, and the remaining one would stay here and live out
the rest of their lives.  So that is what I am going to do".

   I asked her when the funeral was going to be because I felt it was only
right that I take time off from work and fly out there to be with her in
her time of need.  She said there was no need to do that, but I told her I
was coming there and I'd be there as soon as I could get a flight there.

   So I stayed up and caught Steve as he was walking out his door to share
the news with him and to let him know that I was going to call and make me
a reservation for that afternoon.  So I would be gone by the time he got
home.

   He said,"Not without me your not going.  I have known them for alot
longer than you, and besides I don't want you traveling alone".

   I said, "Ok then I am going to make our reservations, we can drive to
Portland and leave from there".

   So Steve went back into his house to call his job, and I went home and
called the school and left a voice mail explaining what had happened and
that I needed a few days off.

   The people at the school knew where I lived and how I had came about
living there, so they would understand my need to be with Martha at a time
like now.  Then I called and made us both reservations and packed my bags.

   Steve and I left the house about 9 am headed to Portland to catch the
flight to Orlando Florida.
