Funny how I get that way from time to time...

Last night, Cindy & I spent time with a classmate of hers, Robin. Robin's hubby Mike had passed of the big C nearly 2 years ago. Also many years ago, I had a few dates with Robin, willingly making Mike a bit jealous after she & he had a spat..the whole thing a set up by another couple of friends.. It worked. Mike came around...they really were destined for each other. Nearly made it 60 years...

She a striking Blonde of Swedish ancestry...at 75, she still is. She and Mike had been together since that long ago spat..since high school. They had a quite wonderful life. Mike a true entrepreneur, left Robin quite secure financially. When Mike became ill, they sold the Bed & Breakfast Inn they owned on Lopez Island in the San Juan islands...but she still has some condos and other real estate, plus the stock & bond holdings. Now trying to decide where to live and how to simplify things. Possibly Arizona or Hawaii...

I digressed tho. She told a tale of a widow suggesting she take off her rings, perhaps wear them as a necklace. Robin asked why..."Well, to show that you're available." Robin: "Available for what?" HA! That other woman didn't understand...Robin had lost the love of her life...nobody could replace Mike. She'd won the game and the game was sadly over.

Over the years, Mike and Robin would stop off in the old home town as they travelled from one location to another.. We'd get together for dinner and conversation whenever they did. Cindy & I miss those times.

(edit..yeah I know I missed a t in the title...can't correct)
