    I will be seeing that smiling face. On December 28th through Jan 2nd. We will have our Christmas when Daddy is home. I am home for 5 days after 24 out. When I am home it is like a vacation for all of us. We eat out, go on day trips, and spend major quality time. I don't have to think about work as a trucker when I am home. In my last career I was home every night, dead tired and going broke and high levels of stress. Now stress free, making good money and family loves our time together.
     
    KAK and pattyj Thank this.

    Back before internet shopping, one nephew wanted a specific toy truck.
    I kept checking stores all over the US when I had time and could park the truck.
    I finally found one in idaho.

    That toy truck made about 3 coast to coast round trips before it was under the right christnas tree.

    I will admit, I got pretty adept in getting it in and out of the packaging, without tearing it up, so I could play with it and it still looked new.

    (Forget what they called the truck, bit it was one that had air horn, engine, and air brake sounds)

    Now I just use amazon.
    :)
    (But I can't play with the toys when I buy through them. :( )
     
    b l a c k b e a r d Thanks this.
