It's still dark at 6:30am. I keep thinking every monday it will be lighter, guess that's when the time changes when it will be lighter. I'm not a morning person, so it was really hard for some reason to get moving today. The temperature was 30 and there's still little piles of snow around the area.
I got to work and everything went well today. Mr Boss is in a conference so he will be out till Wednesday afternoon. I'll be working 8 hr days for Tuesday and Wednesday so Mrs Boss can work with the accountant. I'm still trying to get some proposals out.
Since it's a slow day for posting, I wanted to say something about some of the blogs lately. Jenny, from RV-Dreams chat room, started telling about her younger days, with grandparents, and aprons and bonnets. I remember none of that at all. I don't even remember much about school, or what I did as a kid. I remember my grandma sitting in a chair, but I don't ever remember her even moving or walking which I'm sure she did. My mom had it rough with ailing parents and my dad had a heart attack when I was in the third grade. If it wasn't for the prayer that we had every morning in school, to this day I know I wouldn't have had my dad through my younger days. I don't remember my sister going to school. I do remember some of the hard times, but none of the good times. I had a great childhood and I don't remember ever being sad about anything. School was hard for me, but I guess that's why I don't remember anything about it. I do stay in touch with one of my classmates that meant a lot to me. She found me and we've been in correspondence for the last few years.
Please don't feel sorry, that's ok. The less that clutters the mind the more I can get into it that's suppose to be there to live now and in the future. I don't mind not knowing. While I've been throwing stuff out I had diarys from twelves years of school, but it was like reading someone elses life, not my own, kinda feels odd, but nothing to worry about.
It's fun listening to what people have done in their younger days. That will be another topic that if it comes up at the campfire that will be interesting to me. When we went to the races every year to "The Rock", it was new to me every year. It's fun, it's exciting and as long as I can remember what day it is so I don't go to work two hours earlier, I'm fine.
I do remember some, maybe not all, our air force days and raising kids. Maybe not every detail, but I think I can do fairly well with it. We moved a lot and I remember some of the bases. I'm looking forward to getting on the road. I have a feeling every place we go will always me "new" to me, even if we've been there before.

Dee, I have that problem on remembering some of my life while overseas and some of my life back in the world after my return. Sherri was my life saver when I returned to civilization and she got me straightened out ...well as best she could...LOL I hope my journal helps me remember all these good times later in life...

Dee this was a great story.... I have memories of my youth but nothing great to tell.... But I have even more as an adult and raising my own and now retired and traveling.... Sometimes some of the cities blend into one but with a look at my journals it all comes back... Life is great....
