Once upon a time

 Once upon a time on a small country farm, there was a young women who sat quietly outside on her fence and reflected on her life.

 She flipped the memories in her mind, page by page, as she read her life's story.

She cried as she read the passing of so many loved ones she knew and she couldn't stop smiling as she read the chapter about the birth of her granddaughter. 
The book was full of the story's about Family gatherings, Holidays, vacations, and the many happy days she had lived through. But alas, she was slowing down and getting older!

There were chapters of the fun things her husband and she did together. They traveled from time to time, ate out , and  still stayed involved with her husbands love for horses and team roping.

But the women wanted more as the end of her book was near. So she asked her husband to join her on the last pages of their life together. There still was time for more chapters to be written and many new memory's to share.
