Remembering

A story not to be forgotten…

Frank came over wednesday and while our daughters were being taught violin by the most excellent teacher around, we took a little time to recant a story from our home town. We remembered how a certain motorcycle club would venture out our way and stay across the street from where we lived. Our neighbor seemed to be a most hospitable fellow and welcomed his friends often. Choppers as far as the eye could see lined our corner. As a young boy, we had a certain "respect" for their space. One day, my father's edger and lawnmower went missing. My mother, with no fear of any one or thing, walked over to our neighbor to inform him of our loss. Our neighbor respected our mother, and so he talked with his guests. It was a miraculous event as more edgers and mowers than we ever owned appeared back at our house.
Part 2. When it come time to move our first grand piano, our neighbor's guests happened to be in town. My mother, again, walked across the street and asked, "Is there anyone here that can help?". Sure enough, one of our neighbors guests had moved pianos. He oversaw the entire process. So, the moral of the story, hold your head high, stand firm to your beliefs, and respect all persons. You never know who it will be that will come to your aid.

May or May not have...

Funny story,
Christopher may or may not take backroads to save up on miles.
And the other day Christopher may
or may not have gone through a giant mud pile.
Needless to say, Christopher may or may
not have to wash his truck today...


All this, and the funniest dog story I've heard in a long time...

We went to go visit a referal from one of the members in our branch, it was
great! We set a date with him and everything. But, as we were going out to the
car a huge golden retriever started after us. It was BIG, but also very
friendly. It just wanted attention (think of midnight when she was a puppy but
on a stimulant) Anyway, she kept wanting us to pet her, so we played for like
two seconds. We then had a dinner appointment so we hopped in the truck. The
dog didn't want us to leave so she hopped up on me before I could shut the door.
THis presented a problem. She kept licking and snuggling next to me. And we
had to leave pronto. I tried pulling forward, but the dog stayed. So, Elder
hillary got out of the truck and called the dog. I shut the door, but then the
dog came and jumped on elder hillary. This happened a couple times. So then
Elder hillary jumped on the bed of the truck and was petting the dog, I would
then drive at full speed away from the dog, Elder Hillary would then jump out
and run for the door before the Golden Retriever could make it. It worked the
second time!! Haha but by the time we got to dinner we were covered with hair
:)
