The first time I met Shirley was when she took over the big beautiful home at the other end of of the street. She gave me and our kids the grand tour as we always had the first horse; I believe his name was Fleetwood, meet us at the front fence whenever we walked by. Then when she joined cracker barrel as a hostess, we got to know one another and I was always happy to see her smiling face.
