“Married Young”
by Roger Wilson
I found it amazing to be a teenager: living and laughing in our own world. Where
did all that confidence come from? No problem seemed too big or too difficult
for a young lady of 17 and a guy of 19.
We needed a place to live. We found a small old house on a
beautiful lot with a great view of the Sound. We talked the owner into selling
it to us for $2500—nothing down and $25 a month!
Together, we knocked all the plaster off the bedroom wall,
put a new ceiling in, insulated the walls, went back with sheet rock and a nice
paint job.
House was on its way to becoming our home.
The kitchen was next with bright wall paper, a wood cook
stove with a new coating of black, and a new sink. Many warm happy hours were
spent there.
Room by room, we made a home. It was this old house that
taught us what it meant to be married and in love, and what it meant to be
happy.
