Memories of Maple Avenue

Epilogue

Stephanie smiles sadly and says

"I wish I could of met her, I bet she was beautiful."

Stevie says in a low voice

"She really was sweet girl, she was."

Lindsey knows Stevie still has moments where she is sad and misses Robin very much. She has been gone many years but they still hear from Robin and her husband Kims son Matthew often. Lindsey changes gears and says

"After college grandma taught music right here in Afterton elementary school while I worked for my dad at his coffee plant in Daly city."

Great grandpa and grandma Nicks retired to Arizona, they let us along with Uncle Chris live in their house across the street."

  "After great grandma Buckingham passed away we moved over here and let Uncle Chris have that house."

Stephanie says

"He still lives across the street with Aunt Lori!"

Lindsey replies

"Yep they met when me and grandma did a show in the same place as Lori in Los Angeles."

  Stephanie looks at Lindsey first then Stevie and then asks

  "How come you guys stopped singing together?"

  Lindsey says to Stevie

  "Angel why don't you handle this one."

  Stevie looks at her granddaughter and says

  "Me and grandpa performed together at shows and events on weekends mostly for a number of years."

  "We called ourselves Buckingham Nicks and we performed all up and down the coastline."

  "We even got offered a record contract once."

  Stephanie looks at her grandparents in awe and says

  "Really you where going to make a real record?!"

  Lindsey replies

  "We thought about it but grandma was teaching and my dad wanted me to take over his business."

  Stevie adds

  "We had an even bigger reason to pass on making a rock and roll record didn't we Linds?"

  Stephanie looks at her grandpa as Lindsey chuckles. He says

  "Yep grandma was pregnant with your mom!"

  Stevie pats Stephanies leg and adds

  "Your mommy Andrea Robin was born October 1st 1973."

  Stephanie responds

  "Right before grandpa's birthday, he would if been almost twenty four and you twenty five grandma!"

  Stevie smiles and Lindsey knows she's reliving the memory in her head. Stevie says

  "Yes my sweet and three years later Uncle Andy was born."

  Lindsey adds

  "Adams Morris Buckingham."

  Stephanie scrunched her eyebrows much like her grandmother does. She says

  "Can I call him Uncle Adams Morris instead of Uncle Andy?"

  Lindsey and Stevie both stifle their laughter, Stevie biting her bottom lip, Lindsey hiding his face behind his hands. Stevie finally says

  "You best not honey, Uncle Andy hasn't forgiven us for his full name yet, he prefers Andy."
