AFTER I helped Tom clean up his mess from skinning the beaver he sat down at his table with a cup of coffee. I notice Maggie was laying beside him........
"What are you doing?" I asked. "Oh just thinking back to when I use to trap and skin these things like nothing." he replied. "I bet you didn't have a cool table like this one?" trying to encourage him to talk about the good old days.
He looked at me and laughed...."to tell you the truth I did most of it right on the ground....They were to heavy to carry them out when you got a bunch and your walking miles wearing snow shoes." I laughed with him and said, "bet you had some major fleshing to do after that! "YEAH that's for sure" he said letting out a deep breath.
"Heck I remember when me and Larry T____r would put two in our back packs and tied the rest to a pole we had on our shoulders.......I sure couldn't do that now!" ...........And than he was gone again in his own little world of "back in the day"
Oh the stories in that guy are endless and fun to listen too. I use the word "stories" as it's truth, mixed with exaggeration and confabulation but all of it so real to him ....just the way he tells it. And you can see in his eyes he is reliving the moments as he speaks. I wish there was a way to capture those stories with him as the teller with the same passion he tells them to me.
OH DEAR!!!! I just had a really scary thought!!!!!!! What if he wants to leave the table in my laundry room? ARG!...... I need to go think on that one. Redirect! ha ha
❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥Someone Asked Why?❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥
Super women took a nose dive into the ground. She hit with such force she was buried for weeks. A heavy equipment operator was called in by God. He dug till he found her. She was still breathing but emotionally frail.
He took one look at her and he felt something he has never felt before. So when God said take care of her and love her......he did. He tried to walk away but couldn't....God filled him with an abundance of all the qualities he already possessed and said use these now to help her grow to her full potential as one day you will need what she has to give......
So he put her on a pedestal and kept her dusted and polished for years. Everyday he would polish and shine her and gave her everything he had inside as God instructed.
As the years slowly passed........and she shined like the brightest star in the sky......(He did an awesome job).....but now he was slowly losing himself.
She asked God with tears in her eyes " where is he going?" God said "he is going back to where he first came. It's a long hard journey and he needs you to help him get there safely."
I will give you an abundance of all you need to help him on his journey back to me, for that is where he came from.
So to those who ask why? Because I believe in fairy tales...He is my knight in shining armor...... He literally guarded me with his life.....
