    Prologue

    I wonder if that would be true. Would you buy that home and then what would you do if you found that what you thought wasn't true. I.E. the roof leaked, the basement walls were cracked. Sometimes what looks good on the outside isn't good on the inside. But I understand your wish.

    I vacationed there a lot when I was aa young man. Never did have the guts to climb that fire tower. Did do some hunting, but not ever not anything. There were a couple of bars, one had a rabbit stuffed over the bar with antlers. Life was a lot simpler then.

    “Jeff, you want to go to lunch?” “I need to stop at the lottery office first.” “Did you hit again?” “Yes, but only 500 dollars. I would like to hit the big one. That would set me up for life.” My name is Jeff Simpson. When I was in college, I took a course in probability and statistics. During that semester, I worked on a theory concerning the probability of picking the numbers in the local lotteries. I charted the last five years of lotto winners and corresponding numbers. Then

    If you won the Lotto for a million dollars, what would you do? How would you handle that amount of money, invest? Take a long vacation? Buy an expensive home and a new car? Maybe you would do what Jeff Simpson did.

    That is true. I never had three dogs at one time, I have had a dachshund, a German Shepard and a Great Dane. Of them three, I take them Dane, he was a loving dog.

    Thanks. I'm a dog lover and to think about three at one time, I'd loved it. Dogs, unlike humans, are a loving animal. In my opinion of course

    Chapter 10

    We finished school and had excelled in our classes. The Turners wanted to sell their farm and move closer to their children. Between what I had saved from my trust fund and what Donnie had received from his mother's death, we had enough to put a substantial down payment on the farm. Donnie was delighted and spent a lot of time developing the farm. I spent my time at Dad's offices, and he eventually changed the name to Father and Son Ad Agency. I asked him why he didn't use our names. He looked a

    Yep. They are one of the lucky ones, support from parents, support from friends and now support from strangers.

    It seems that someone is looking out for these two young lovwers, and maybe that is true. Helping hands when needed is a gift.

    Yes, there are people who have a heart and willing to help. John and Sam don't need the money,. so they offer a help;piong hand to some young people. A very generous offer from the heart

    The mother must know her daughter very well. I found it unusual that her step-father wasn't the one who blew their top.

    Unfortunately, today the first place anyone looks for information is the net specifically Goggle or similar search engines. A lot of teens use this method rather than go to a Library and do a more clinical search. The fear of discovery pushes them toward private use of a computer. I'm not saying this is the right way to get information, but it is the way most people use.,

    Chapter 9

    Our vacation was over. We had to get ready for college, requiring us to find a place to stay. Dad had a friend, actually, a client who lived close to the college we were going to attend. He told Dad he had a spare bedroom we could use, but I didn’t want that. You would be sharing with another family, and that could be complicated. Donnie and I drove over to the college and began to check places out. Most were rentals for students, were only for nine months. We wanted something a little more
