Alright guys...sorry it took so long to get back on this, but I have been running around since yesterday afternoon. Really great stories, and it made it very hard to decide So I decided to give out two fivers, which go to leasingthisspace and sonuvabum.
Both of those stories resonated the most with me. leasing's story reminded me of my grandfather. He died when I was 7. One night my aunt was telling stories about him smoking cigars. My regular ash tray is from my grandma's house when she moved out. It was one off those things that I always liked about her house, and when I grabbed it, I didn't smoke. My aunt told me that it was his ash tray. I liked the moment spent with your grandma and the thoughts she must have had about her life past that was brought back by the smell of cigar smoke.
I appreciated Gary's story because I enjoy camping and know how challenging weather can be. Getting through that and then getting to spend time with your sons talking about life and enjoying a cigar made me think about my boys and future times spent with them.
So, that being said, leasingthisspace, send me your address. Gary I have yours from your profile.
Thank you all guys! I really appreciate that you took the time to share these stories.
