I woke this morning (Thursday) and checked my myspace as I usually do..only to find that my post last night hadn’t gone through !

I’ll try to recreate what I remember of it from memory.. I say what I remember of it .. because we’d just come back from visiting our friends M and B.. For some reason I always come back from seeing them a little tipsy.  We always enjoy hanging out with them.

 
Unfortunately, their house burned down at the beginning of the month. They’d lived in that house for 30 years…Of all the things they lost that night . but most important to them were two young kittens.  That was very sad

We also talked about all of the stuff that  they lost and the stuff they managed to save. . What was irreplaceable and what you have that you never need to see again.. like old work papers. I can’t imagine the loss of  going through something like that.

We do have one very tough loss in common, one of their sons passed away about 20 years ago. That similar experience between us makes it very easy to talk about things that are difficult to discuss with other friends. It felt really good to be able to share that stuff… I know it sounds from the outside like a bunch of sad, tough  topics.. but he had a great time over there…  we laughed alot.. They are really great people

Lessseee. what else did I write about last night ? I did have these two pictures folks sent me after Sunday’s Candle lighting.for Sam .. The first is from my folks. Ou can see a great picture of my mom and sam next to the candle (Thansk for the picture, Mom !)

I also got this sweet picture form Hannah.. 

Thank you both for sending those !

I can’t remember what else I might have written about.. but It’s time for me to go to work.. so that’s gotta be it.. Be well folks.. TTYL Sam..
