I loved being outside. We'd hold lightning bugs in our fingers and pretend they were diamond rings.

The night I announced I was getting married, Daddy paced for hours on the porch.

I'd love to travel to the Holy Land.

It's important that you take care of yourself and blow off steam in the right way. Don't let some woman walk in and say, "hey, goodbye!" and take your man. Kill her if you can! I'm only kidding.

Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage, figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant.

I've been married to the same man for all this time. The way we fight sometimes, you can tell.

I wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have.
