I needed a few things at the general store which is in the center of town. I like to walk and the school and my home are on the edge of town so it wasn't a hike just a good way to stretch my legs. Saturday is always busy in town. The town's people getting out and about to visit, do some shopping with the people that live out of town come in for supplies.
Being the school teacher and from being active in the church, it seems every one knows me, even if I must confess, I don't know them by name.
I walked past the sheriffs office, Sheriff Edwards was sitting on one of the three chairs that are outside his office jail drinking a cup of coffee.
"Good morning Mrs. Nice," He said, with a tip of his hat.
He's a rugged 50 year old man, very friendly and polite, but don't cross him! A lesson learned by a few men that get rowdy at one of our saloons. He knew my husband and feels, I think, a little responsible for my husband being shot and killed. My husband was a US marshal and was helping the Sheriff track down some bad guys when he was killed. The killers have never been caught. I know it wasn't his fault; it could have just as easily been him that was killed.
"Good morning to you too Sheriff, you look as handsome as ever," I said with a smile, and got a big grin from the sheriff.
"Mrs. Nice you keep saying that and I might come to court you," he said laughing; he's married with three kids and two grandchildren.
I laughed with him, and then continued on to the store.
I exchanged pleasantries with several people along the way.
When I arrived at the general store, I looked around, picked out some necessities. Mr. Davies, the proprietor, said he would have my purchases dropped off at my house.
I talked with a few more people on my way to a little tearoom I like to go to.
I was seated and nodded hello to other customers, I ordered a tea and a sweet treat.
While sipping my tea I was thinking how nice it was to know so many friendly people. However, I also started thinking how I really wanted sex. I have dreams that would have me thrown out of church if anyone knew, and I've been pleasuring myself way too much. I need a man!
"Hello, Mrs. Nice are you feeling okay," asked Mrs. Morgan the owner of the tearoom.
"Why yes, why?" I answered.
"You're face is flushed, just wanted to make sure you were okay."
"I fine thank you," I said with a smile and she smiled back and visited another table.
The rosy cheeks were the result of my dirty thought's no doubt.
I finished my tea and sweet and started walking home stopping and chatting with people along the way. When I arrived home I graded some school papers and cleaned the house, so much for excitement.
It was late afternoon when I heard a knock on my door I was wondering who might be visiting, and then I remembered my delivery from the general store.
"Good afternoon boys I didn't think I bought enough merchandise that needed two strong young men to deliver it," I said with a smile to two of my 18 year old students.
"Naw Mrs. Nice, we were at the general store and Mr. Davies asked us to bring this to you," they said, while putting all of three small packages on my table.
I get a kick out of the boys, physically they're becoming men, but mentally they're still inexperienced boys, I like the combination.
"I was just correcting your arithmetic test from yesterday and you boys both did very well, I'm proud of you," I said, and they both looked pleased to have me say that.
"Clinton aren't you a long way from home to be here so late in the day?" I said.
"I'm camping out with Ezra near his house tonight," he told me, and it was confirmed by Ezra shaking his head.
"Well you guys run along now and have fun tonight," I told them while holding the door open for them.
