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.
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...

LOL on the word processing system...That was interesting trying to read it. All I can say about that Malibu is WOW! You must love your son a LOT to turn that beautiful car into that fiery wild thing! I understand the why, but OH, how nice it would be to restore it back to the original! LOL. We once had a Chevelle SS coupe, and it was copper colored. I think it was either a 1970 or 71. But once the kids came along it wasn't practical to have a coupe with no AC in Florida! So we traded it for a station wagon! LOL. The sacrifices we make for our children! LOL. Have a blessed day, and good luck with the writing program!!!
Persevere ... Libre Office Writer is easy to use. Try writing your Blog post direct on Blooger; and not on Libre first and then Copy/Paste. This is why you are getting a post with gaps in it.
God bless.
Well it was readable for the most part. I'm not familiar with other methods of word processing. Hope you can follow Victors advice and if works!
LOL on the new-fangled script ... you're making sure we (us readers) are on our toes this morning; not asleep at the keyboard!
I sure remember those thick newspapers. Back in the day, it was our Google (source) for whatever one needed.
Well, it was interesting to see this. I agree with Victor. Nice to give your son that car.
