The Journey Of Love: Nancy Olsen and Andrew Clark: Chapter 1
It has been about 2 weeks since Nancy and Andrew first met at the Walnut Grove New Year's celebration when Andrew tested Nancy's award-winning Lemon Meringue pie. Andrew is at the Olsen's for lunch one day when he asked, "Nancy would you like to go for a buggy ride after church on Sunday."
Nancy answers with a big smile on her face, "I sure sure would, I can make my pie again for us if you wish."
Andrew, "Oh yes please do!"
Sunday afternoon after church they go on the buggy ride and talk and get to know one another a little better. Nancy asks, "Andrew so what do you do for living?"
Andrew, " I grew up in Mankato and my dad was the bank clerk there and I want to do the same. When I moved here Mr. Anderson hired me to help him at his bank what do you do?''
Nancy, "I'm still in school and going to graduate in May and for now I work at the switchboard in the back of my family's restaurant."
They continue to chat then Andrew says, "Let's stop and park the wagon under this tree and enjoy some of your pie."
Nancy says, "Ok."
As they are sitting in the back of the wagon eating that delicious Lemon Meringue Pie, Andrew compliments the pie as he did a few weeks ago, "Yum, Nancy this is the best pie I ever had!"
Nancy, "Thank you"
Riding back to town Andrew says, "Nancy I hear there will be a Valentine's dance at your family's restaurant in a couple of weeks on February 14th would you let me have the honor of taking you!"
Nancy, " I would love for you to take me"
Andrew drops Nancy at home and says, "Goodnight", with a little kiss on the hand.
Nancy walks in and Nels and Harriet asks, "Nancy how was your day with Andrew?"
Nancy, "WONDERFUL!, he is such a sweet man he asked me to the Valentine's dance in a couple of weeks"
Harriet says with a smile, ''Nancy see we told you if your pie would win the bake-off someone would notice."
Nancy, "I believe you and Nellie were right."
Than Nels says with a little chuckle, "Food always helps gets to a man's heart." They all gave a little chuckle and then off to bed.
Nancy goes to her room gets ready for bed and while laying there in her bed she says to herself, "I'm falling in love", then falls asleep with happy thoughts...
