Memorial concluded

hHave one more I wanted to discuss. My wife made a friend at the church we go to now when we first started going. We started doing things together with her and her husband. Their names were Curt and Lori. Their daughter was in softball in the field was right behind our house. We used to go sit with them and blab and watch the game. Later on we met Kurt's parents who came to the game also. Kurt's dad's nickname was Sugar and his mother's name was Dee. As in the previous story we became their friends by being friends with their children. Sugar was a very entertaining person and always had a story to tell. He came to be a Christian age  late in life and he had decades of living without Jesus so he was a little rough around the edges and his stories were a little on the rough side. This was  not a problem to me because I became a Christian in my 20s and some rough edges that I still struggle with. What was funny was that I had met sugar years before. We lived  near the same town and they had garage sales  in his  area fairly often. I was interested in a tiller he was selling.  we did the old school bargaining. A lot of "I don't know", sliding that hat back and kicking the ground. We were five dollars apart on a very old very worn tiller. It ended with us parting ways until I got to the end of the drive. He called out all right I'll take it and I went back and got the tiller. It had some pretty big problems with leaking oil but it was fine for a small garden. I never was able to repair the leak but used it for 20 years. When we first met Sugar and Dee he seemed familiar that we got to talking and I find out where he lived I asked if he used to have garage sales a lot. After a little bit of back-and-forth he knew that I was the guy who bought the tiller and haggled for it. We both started laughing. After that whenever I saw him it was like we're old friends and we would shoot the breeze tell our wives drug us off. My wife was more friends with Dee for the same thing. Just being friends with their kids made us their friends.
So what I found was that people with good family adhesions were very good at passing those feelings along when the opportunity was there. I felt like I have benefited greatly from the three have mentioned here and along with many I have mentioned. I'm pretty much out of ability to speak so I will sign off now. Thank you again for reading my blog.
