February notes, memories and plans.

A freezing skiff of rain last night put us inside for this February 11, 2015 day. It's cold and we have lots of old western's on the telly.  Kids are out of school and probably having a ball.

I had to get Open Office back to see if I can retrieve some of my writing, and I am slowly posting it all here. I found a Valentine's Day Love story which I wrote but never sent to anyone as it's just not a good length, but I love it because it's so "Trucky" lol.

Jim was an Owner Operator for many years, its a tough business but we both just loved it. I went with him except when I hurt my back too bad, or I had to deal with the paperwork, or had chores and errands to catch up with.

I had many people say "Doesn't riding in that truck hurt your back?" Well, yes, but I have a power seat, a modified floor for my legs, a custom set of little steps to use to get in, and prototype arm rests. Funny, nobody ever asked me if vacuuming, dish washing, laundry, ever hurt my back. Well, the answer to all, was yes.

So read Robert's Plan, and if you are a 'trucker, you will recognize a little bit of the road in the story I hope.

Since Open Office is 'way too complicated for me, that's what I will be trying to learn this winter. So far after 3 hours I found out that my printer is my downfall, it will not print 2 sided, so I will see if it will print at Jackpine. I have a little story to print and am not making much headway but the paper stack is getting shorter and shorter.

Have a great day, I am off for my first Spring Break next week. Florida~ Lynn goes with me.  I have been away from Jim but he has never been without me for 2 weeks, well, lets say without me laying in the bedroom with arthritis problems. I think he will like the peace and quiet. NOT!
