Yesterday
I remember that during my second pregnancy Johnny Dale came and visited with me every Tuesday night. Lonnie taught at MECC on Tuesday and I was alone most Tuesday evenings. We would watch Riptide, A-Team and Remington Steele on TV. Sometimes he would bake me a chocolate cake or some other dish. He was a lot of company to me. He would lie down in the floor and I was in the recliner. When Lonnie came home, he would have to wake us both up so Johnny Dale could go home. I always appreciated home for keeping me company. Rest in peace Johnny Dale. He would talk about Vickie and I knew that there was going to be a wedding in the future.
