    It is heart breaking to loose someone due to the carelessness of another. I am sorry for your loss.

    When we first came to Bee we were 3, 4 and 5. There was a lot going on that we did not understand.

    Bee would try to talk to us, but that didn't help. (A we were told.) She finally came up with self written and illustrated story books that the character (s) in the books were dealing with some of the very things were dealing with. (Wow, just like us!) Each book had 12 to 15 stories, mostly a years worth of growing up angst. She had 12 of these, then when we graduated from high school she turned us into super heros! (Cape optional.) In our very own story book. I recently, like yesterday, discovered that she had done one for each of her Army buddies when they came back and were out of the military.

    While I was snooping in her office I found them all. After some arm twisting she agreed to me reading them, her making the noises of the smaller animals and Tiny doing the much larger animals including the T Rex.

    After everyone got comfortable in the front room we ran through two stories in close to 2 hours. I have never seen so many adults turn into children enjoying story hour again. More importantly the first story was almost created for Little Man and the loss of this parents. He was glued to the story telling.

    Thanks Mom.

    Yes, Tiny still makes an impressive T Rex.

    Yes, that is what I was thinking. But instead of spelling it out for everyone, I went with Bee shorthand. Thanks for coloring it in for everyone.

    Bee, who is still not firing on all of them.

    New ones don’t have a turn in them. Cut even .010 off one to straighten it up you get one highway speed brake application out of it and it’s bent out of shape so bad it drags.

    I was over on Bulkloads nosing around, and somebody had a 2000 Mid roof for sale. It was a nice looking truck like yours, detroit. 10 speed, and he was asking $60k. You thinking about retiring, now might be the time.
