CONVERSATIONS:
I had a nice chat with family members over the holidays. I called Richard a few days ago at Davita. We rebuilt most stories and then some.
He and Cathy have been on a few quad adventures above Riggins. They watched a herd of elk through a surveyors tran both he and Cathy saw Dad at their kitchen table a few weeks after Mom died. He was holding a cup of coffee with a Berglund grin on his face. They have also seen some of their older dogs that are visiting them.
When I talked with Aunt Wanda she said that when Grandpa Berglund died, Paul was driving along some where and saw him walking along the road. She also smells Pauls after shave. Awwww.
I told him that Mom told me a dream she had about a year before she died. She dreamed that her parents came to her apartment and told her to pack they were leaving. When she woke she found that her suitcase was packed.
Richard told me a dream where he was walking along a sandy beach on a Caribbean island while drinking a Corona. Guess what he found in the pantry the next day/ A Corona? No, footprints in the kitty litter.
I told him the story from the retired Navy Seal. He helped the Coast Guard with a sunken submarine with drugs. I asked him to tell me something I would never guess. So, he reported to San Die;go for submarine school. He walked around to get oriented. At the corner of one of the building was a very tall, very old palm tree. It was planted in 1915 by Teddy Roosevelt during his second term as President.
Richard replied, I got one for you. A general was reporting to command a new Naval Base. He inspected the troops and noticed that two seamen were guarding a bench. He asked what they were doing. Standing Guard. Why. We do not know, General. He was curious and started asking previous base commanders what they knew about the bench. No one knew. He finally contacted the fifth commander and when told the story, exclaimed. "Isn't that paint dry yet?" We talked about tatoos. I told him about the nice tech who got a gorgeous red and blue octopus on her back and left arm. She showed it to Scott a temp and he said he had a rooster on the back of his calf with a noose around it's neck. Um, why? That is so he can ask, "Would you like to see my cock that hangs below my knees?" I have since learned that Richard has one as well as Rocky. Definitely a guy thing. Yesterday the same young lady said that there was a new gentleman patient. They talked about tatoos and agreed that some men got tatoos on the tool. Ouch. She said she had seen one where the guy had racing stripes. The man replied that if he got a tatoo of a One hundred dollar bill he could ask, "Would you like to blow a hundred?" Again a guy thing. I suppose women could do the same, Tatoo of an arrow above pubes that says "Insert Tab A into Slot B". Erk.
