I know life goes on in happiness and sadness. I miss brother Dave everyday. He was just a great brother and a wonderful man. BUT, yes, life is today and Dave is not with us here on earth so I will just treasure memories and live for today. But there are many many stories that could be told.
As preteen age boys we were always up for a fun time. I think I wrote about this before but! Mom and Dad would go to camera club every month. Dad lived for that kind of thing and Mom went along for the social I think. According to Dad he was considered the best. AND acutally I would not doubt that. Well Mom was happy as Dad had given in and acutally spent some money on the house. Mom had a new linoleum floor in the living room. No carpet in our house like Mom's sister Bertie had. No we had the "poor man's carpet" which was linoleum but it was nice. Dave and I were a little bit bored so we decided to put a piece of furniture in the doorway to the living room and then take a run from the kitchen and jump on it and slide across the new floor. Fun, right!!! Well the first person to do it had a great ride for about 10 feet AND MOM'S NEW LINOLEUM FLOOR HAD A TEN FOOT DEEP SCRATCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR. So what did we do? We put a scatter rug over the scratch and went to bed. Not very nice, not very smart and one could say more too. Poor Mom. I do not remember getting a chewing out for it but I am sure Mom was just sick. She got so so little for the house that I am positive that ruining her new floor was terrible. BUT true to a loving Mom she said little and did not complain. Now I am NOT saying she was right in her response. Somehow Dave and I should have had to pay for our foolishness but of course we had NO money so words were all that one could do. I would like to say the whole idea was Dave's but I can not say that. IT MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE FEW BAD THINGS DAVE DID IN HIS LIFE. I sure do miss him.
