Well it certainly is much closer for you to drive there then it is for me! I suppose it's going to be a long time before your wife gets any vacation time though

hey Melinda..I suppose you're about to close up shop? Well, Mrs. J has to work for six months before she gets a week off. And when she does she'll probably be heading to Ohio to see her parents, daughter and grandsons.

And will you and Jack go too?

I don't think so. The last time she went she wanted me to stay here with Jack. Well he doesn't travel much and she flew so.

Anna used to love to ride in the truck. She traveled many miles with us... And when we couldn't take her she went and stayed with my daughter and the kids. They were kind of her home away from home and she didn't mind being there with them at all and took over their sofa and made herself right at home.

haha! yes I can see that. Jack is King of the sofa and he starts growling if you try to move him off of it!

Anna always had her end of the couch and if Jim and I wanted to sit on the couch also, he would have to sit in the middle. If I did she would try to push me off so that she could be closer to her dad. It would become quite a game with me teasing her about loving to sit beside her and her pushing against me harder. I was tolerated, but her dad was her person.
