Things have been so sad, I thought I would share this. It brought a smile to my face after many days of a sad heart.

I'm thinking Marty will read this some day and give me the June Doofus Award as well.

I had to work today, so at lunch time, the time of Michaels Funeral, I went over to the local park. I knew it would be quiet at that time of day and could sit at my favorite bench and table and light a candle for Michael.

It was a small candle and I made a base out of aluminium foil so I could sit it on top of the table.

I lit the candle, said a few words for Michael and his family, told them all I was thinking of them. Told Marty how very much I appreciated her as a horsewomen.

Pulled my Diet Pepsi, and sandwich out of a bag and placed them on the table. Leaned over to get my chips, and BAM!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

4 Squirrels have already taken all off the table and are running into the park. My diet pepsi got dropped, actually only knocked off the table and is spraying everywhere!!!! Jump up to go after Michaels Candle, my pant legs get caught on a screw in the leg of the table, I jerk, and now have a 8 inche rip up my pants. But I'm off after the squirrel with Michaels Candle,,,,,,,,

A gentleman also there on his lunch hour asks if he can assist,,,,,,,,,,and I yell, YES, he's got my candle. Who has your candle???? The squirrel.................the young man kind of giggles and says, maybe his power is out. Appologizes and says he just couldn't help himself.

I saw the squirrel go up in a tree. Walked over to the the tree to see if mayhe he had dropped it before he went up. Looked around for several minutes and I finally looked up. About 20 foot up, in a knot hole, was Michaels Candle.

I couldn't help but grin. Maybe it needed to be closer.
 
They stole a LIT CANDLE???? well I'll be!!!!!!!!

Hope it was put out on the way up the tree -- hoping Michael enjoyed watching it happen too.

Thanks for sharing it.

I can't say for sure, it all happened so fast,,,,,,,but I think my spraying pepsi is what put the candle out.
 
So nice to have a little chuckle and smile on our faces.

I bet Michael sure is laughing :lol:

My grandmother, years ago had a seagull take her whole sandwich right out of her hand as she went to take a bite.

Thanks for sharing.

Carolyn that's hilarious and it could only happen to you! That is so very funny, sorry to laugh but it is :lol: Thanks for the giggle, I needed it.
 
Carolyn I enjoyed your story so much. I definitely think it could merit the coveted doofus award - I know the feeling of having things go 'all kinds of awry' when I'm really trying to do a good thing.

I missed the opportunity to light a candle today during the funeral time, but I will light one tonight, maybe the effects will still be felt.

Carolyn it's priceless. And no one would appreciate a good story like that more than Marty..perhaps one day she will.

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure it brought a smile to Michael's face.

What a funny story..LMAO. I'm sure Michael is laughing right now at it. :bgrin
 
I'll bet you MONEY!! that that rascal Michael was COACHING the squirrel! LMBO
 
Carolyn, That sure put a smile on my face after all of the sadness the past few days. We all know Michael loved animals, and he probably put the squirrel up to doing that..as a prank. Marty would love it! Corinne
 
I have heard more than once that both Michael and Dan were pranksters! Wouldn't put it past Michael that he had a hand in that! :lol:

He probably was watching all of us all over the country (and world!) being so somber........and decided -- to heck with that -- lets get some laughter in there!

I hope this gets back to Marty, Jerry, AND Dan at some point. It just may make their day.

I'm sure Michael got a laugh as he was watching and he would have wanted to re-inact it. He loved to joke and kid around.

In a while Marty will also laugh at this story. It does sound like doofus award material.
