During the summer between high school and college, we had a new neighbor who wanted her family house re-stained and my Dad had the great idea that I could do it for them.
Just for some background, they were a young couple in there early 30’s with a couple of kids under 6. The house they bought was one that we had considered buying a few years earlier when we moved to the neighborhood. The wife, I’ll call her Ann, was very vivacious and friended my Dad pretty much right from day one. Dad was and still is a car guy and she liked cars more than her husband. They quickly bonded, but I don’t think they ever took it further than a friendship even though my parents’ marriage was coming apart at the wheels at that time. To say my Dad was attracted to Ann is a huge understatement.
