So long dear friend

Well where do I start??? This week I said fair well to a dear friend of mine.. We have known the Sniders for over six years. Her husband just retired from the Navy this week so they got in their Suburban and U-Haul truck and headed down to Texas to start a new life...

I have so many stories to share about her but i will only do one in this blog.... Well it was in Dec of 2007 I think and we were over her house making tamales. we had everything going real smooth we had done our first batch I think already. We had ran out of supplies so we had to go down to Market Place which is a grocery store here in Whidbey we got our supplies and also some lunch.. When we got back to her house we started the second batch and we were talking or something and next thing we knew there was a grease fire in her house with the second batch of tamales getting burnt...

That was just one of the fun days we had together... I hope you remember that story and one day we can sit back and laugh about it.

You are gonna be missed my dear friend. Hopefully in six months we can join you there in Texas and we can pick back up where we ended...
