I have a few. \u00a0And dang neart everyone of them are real, from real life experiences. \u00a0Some of them are just too good to be true. \u00a0You just can’t make some stuff up.<\/p>\n
Tammy and I recently had a family friend pass away from cancer. \u00a0He wasn’t young, his family was prepared and \u00a0the end came fairly quick. \u00a0I’m not going to use names but there will be those who know who I am writing about. \u00a0This family is one of those small-town local legends that make communities great. \u00a0I have several stories that involve this family. \u00a0Great people!<\/p>\n
My favorite story with this particular dude consists of me taking a group of ag mecker boys to the local lumber yard about 13 or 15 years ago. It was probably 8:42 AM. \u00a0The boys walked in with me in tow. \u00a0I was greeted by the proprietor. \u00a0 He knew every kid and every kid’s parent and grandparent. \u00a0Nothing said was inappropriate. \u00a0But, I was still caught off guard by the following question.<\/p>\n
In a slow kind-of drawl, he said, “Hey Mr. Kelln, do you know what a man with a 12 inch pEn!$ has for breakfast?” \u00a0I shook my head and said, “No! No, I do not know what that guy has for breakfast.”<\/p>\n
He said, “Well, I had pancakes and bacon and eggs.” \u00a0 Those kids went to laughing. \u00a0I laughed. \u00a0He laughed. \u00a0And I still laugh thinking about this. \u00a0Fittingly enough, his first name was Richard.<\/p>\n
Ironically, the Dragon Lady has cooked breakfast for supper tonight. \u00a0Sausage, bacon, home-grown eggs and blue-berry pancakes. \u00a0I sit here at this keyboard, laughing. \u00a0It is as it should be. \u00a0RIP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
