Scott Boys Visit

Stacey and I were home when the doorbell rang. Stacey beat me to the front door and she opened it. I was suprised to see three of my old buddies standing outside. Gary, Denny (Buzz) and Joe Scott. We used to live by each other when I was around 5-10 years old. We played ball together in our yards then and later played on the same highschool teams, and after we were out of school, we played slow-pitch softball for several years. I said for them to come on in and set down, so they did. Gary told me that Mike Rees had mentioned to him about his and Vickie's visit a few weeks ago, and they were down here now for their family reunion in Burkesville, so they decided to drop by. I sent Stacey down to tell Linda that we had company, so she could see them too. It took her about 5 minutes to go and return from Regina's house and once Linda was back we all did some 'catching up'. Gary said he was a grandpa now, and Joe was also. Gary, Buzz, Joe, Johnnie and Dean, all still live in Daleville. They told us where their houses were and a little bit about what had been going on in each of their lives. Gary had a few health problems and had retired, Joe said he had about 3 years to go before he retired from the Muncie Fire Dept and Buzz was working in Indy for a publishing company. We told them a little about what was going on with Brent, Stacey and us. They started to leave and I said there was no hurry, that we enjoyed it when people dropped in. So we talked a while longer and got to laughing about some old tiimes. But the visit had to end after about a hour and a half because they had left their wives back in town and were supposed to go to a dinner party, so they needed to go. We hugged and said good bye, and I told them to come back whenever they were down this way.
