Monday and a new WORD for my blog

 Today’s Picture

The only car I ever had car-fever for.  We bought it and then gave it to my dad when we got orders to GITMO. Mama gave the car back after dad died.

Below is what I did to the car to give it to Mark for his first car.

Now for today:

I knew this time was coming so here it is, I am using LibreOffice Writer to work in a replacement.

 Just hoping this works. I do not like learning new stuff online.

orders to the Washington DC area. We had a 1953 Plymouth 

loaded with our earthy goods. I had NEVER thought of what 

a ,

big city was like, never needed to. WE always just drove into 

town, bought a paper, went to the want ads and found a 

place 

to live, SIMPLE (for a small town).

I bought a Washington Post. In my life I had never held a 

paper this thick. The paper was at least an inch thick. There 

were

pages,pages and pages of furnished apartments listed for 

rent or lease.

I am sure we looked strange, car loaded sitting trying to 

read 

a paper. There was a tap on he window, there stood a soldier 

in 

uniform. He introduced himself, he was on the way to work. 

He was stationed at the Pentagon. He asked us to follow him 

back home for coffee. WE followed him. At home he called his 

duty station and explained he would be late.

His wife fixed coffee and we relaxed some. He told us we 

needed to wait until a real estate agency opened and chek for 

them. I was there for a 6-8 week IBM school and he was not 

sure if we could find a place without a year’s lease.

BUT at least we had a start. WE did find a place with a 

short 

term lease and were able to settle down. It was in a large 

apartment building, and even on the first floor. We had never 

lived like this. LOL All new to us and all because of a 

stranger 

recognizing our plight. Over the years I have wished I had 

his 

name, he was surely one of those ‘angel’s in disguise.’ Because 

we were in an area of over 6 million people and the largest 

city we knew was about a 100 thousand. TRUE DAT!

So now I will see if I can post this.

This is terrible...  Will post again when I figure this out...
