Silly Men

Just thought about this random story....
Len, Bob and I were all at Sushi years ago, close when Len and I first met. Anyway and I remember he and Bob were both eating SO much Wsawbi (you know the really hit Japeneese Mustrad) that they were crying and they were turning beet red, but neither of them would stop!. We were all laughing SO hard and they just kept doing it! You would think that men would learn right? Naw! I think they were trying to out do each other or something, but it was funny! They didn't try that again for awhile...I must say!

I got lots of these.....think my Hubby is gonna post some too, but he might need his own site! LOL!

The starting point

I just started this blog for anyone who knew this wonderful man and wanted a place to share their good times with him. He passed away last Saturday night. He was only 39. He was out with friends and camping. He drown in a lake, in the middle of the night. Everyone did all that they could, but it was too late in the end.
My husband Len and I knew him well, maybe not as long as some, but he was one of my husbands best friends. He was devastated to say the least. He had never had anyone close to him die that was not a family member ho died from old age, this was also a first for me. We didn't know what to do the shock was so strong . All we could do was just pace around the house and yard and try to make some sense of it. It felt like a dream and we needed to be pinched, but it was not the pain was so very real. We called everyone we knew to tell of the news that Sunday morning, after we had gotten a call informing us of the news. In a way to was comforting to know that everyone we knew was going through the very same thing. We were not alone. Yes, everyone we knew was sad and some I know will be for a long time. I just wish that we could build a time machine and take back what happened that tragic night. Some how make it right.
I hope that we can remember the good times, the fun, laughter we shared over the years. I know that he would want us to remember him that way. So here we are at the starting point.
