12/23/2010 The World Can’t Be THIS Small, Can It?

Checking our bank account on line first thing this morning told us that today would be the day that we would pay for our new ….. well, we’ll get to that later.

I called the fellow we met on Tuesday and told him the funds were available and that we would be over today to give him a check but that we wouldn’t be picking up our purchase because our friend was going to pick it up for us but couldn’t until Sunday if that was okay with him. He replied, “Well, that’s fine but if you want I’ll bring it over to your place.” Wow! That would be great and would save us a lot of time and trouble. He said he would be over in a bit and the wait started. We hate to wait. Its like time stands still.

After what seemed like an eternity but in actuality was only an hour or so Gary and his wife Linda arrived. We hadn’t met her when we were at their house earlier in the week.

As soon as Gary got out of his truck I asked him, “When we left your place on Tuesday did you have the feeling you had met us before or did we look familiar to you in any way? Just at this point his wife got out of the truck and said, “Snookie, don’t you remember meeting us?” Bob and I practically had whiplash we turned our heads to look at each other. I shook my head no because I couldn’t do anymore than that, I was so dumbfounded that we actually had met this couple before now.

She went on to say, “Don’t you remember, we met in ALASKA two summers ago.” It all came flooding back to both of us! Of course, we have a mutual friend, Bob Timpko, that we had met while we were in Alaska and we even spent some time with them when we all met up for an afternoon. OMG,,,,we did meet before! Can this world really be this small? Yes, yes it can for this surely proves that point.

So now its time to show you what we bought.

Yep, an ATV. Several of the guys here in the park, and one lady, have these things and Bob has wanted one so that he can go riding in the desert with them.

Gary and Linda with Bob.

Bob is just thrilled with his new toy and he can’t wait to get out in the desert with the guys.

So this is a 2008 Polaris 400. It came with lots of extras because Gary and Linda had them put on. He’s gonna have a ball on this thing!
