Just another reason why she was so special. Lori and I always had a standing joke between the two of us. Anytime she ask me to do a chore or favor for her my reply was always "sure..... for a quarter"...
So for my birthday she bought me a nice quality Fishing creel. When I unwrapped it she said "open it".... I ????? I didn't know what she was talking about...open it ??
She flipped up the fish that is hinged to the top and it opened up a Piggy bank slot. She said now you have a spot for all those quarters. She also gave me 3 fishing books she bought at the Cape. She knew exactly what to get to make me happy. I told her that the Fishing Creel bank was the nicest gift I had every received in my life and I meant it.
On the Christmas before I opened up a box which had an 8 1/4" GRS Big Water trolling Pike lure. These are all hand made and pretty expensive. She new the two colors that I already had so she got me a different color. It's get better..... She knows that I have a thing about having "two" of everything. One to use and one to put safely away should I loose the first one......so she bought me two. Do you believe it. That is just one tiny example of why she was so special. The GRS will never see water as it has to much sentimental value and I would be terrified of loosing it, but the idea of catching that big cow could also have special meaning.
