Has Life Escaped Me?

 Well, its been sometime since I posted anything, so I guess I should try and makeup for my shortcomings(?) and maybe try to spend a few moments here. I think the first thing I should say is how much my lady, Belle, has been on my mind. Especially during the Easter holiday. I know she has taken to the hills to try and release some of her frustrations in her own way. She has an itch you just can't scratch in other words. One that keeps coming back in the most unusual ways. It is one she has to deal with on her own, not saying that I haven't tried to get her to let me do something about it for her. I am sorry to say that this is one battle she has to fight herself. I would rope the moon just to let its precious light shine on her and give the feeling of peacefulness that she so richly deserves. Speaking of the moon, has anyone noticed just how big, bright and beautiful it has been as of late. Rest assured Belle and I have. It has an one of those effects on her and I that is hard to describe. We started looking at the moon as a way to feel close to each other when I was away from her. I would be in California making a delivery and she would be here in Bama, and yet somehow it always made us feel close. It was an object we both could look at and talk about at the same time although we were so far apart. Even now, with a mere 100 miles separating us, it keep us closer than most people would believe it could. If you think I am joking, just try it with someone you care deeply about and see what I mean. It has a very unusual effect that can not be duplicated anywhere in the universe. Just like my Belle, copied maybe, but duplicated...NO WAY! She is one in a million. And I am proud of her in ways she does not even know of. A one of a kind woman that I only thought was in the movies until we had met that one very dreary night in Georgia at a truck stop. Of course only after talking on a CB for what seemed forever. As time went on we grew so very close. Oh sure, not to say we never had any rough moments. Believe me, we did. But as things go, if you love someone, as I do her, it will work itself out. Be patient, be kind and do not forget to communicate to each other the honest feelings you both have without and yelling, screaming or sarcasm and it shall be fine. I promise. This a lesson hard learned. Just one of many life lessons learned. Well enough rambling for now. Hope everyone has had a good Easter as well as remembered the reason we celebrate it. The Yankee has spoken....... | | | |

 Well, the trip to Mississippi was one that was well past due for us. We had spent so much time in various places, talking, dining and all the while having to watch the eternal movement of a watch or clock of some sort. This time was different. As her, I was not sure how well we would get along in such close quarters for a period of time. All I knew was that our time was finally here. No clocks, no watches to tell us it was time to part. Instead we have days, not just mere hours or a few stolen minutes. There are a few things I do need to relay though. When we finally arrived at our exit off of I10 in Mississippi, we pulled off to a Raceway gas station I believe it was and decided to stretch and do the restroom thing. After that I asked about the hotel we would be using. Well as it was she had already had a coupon for a hotel but it had a catch. We would have had to go to some type of seminar for a full day or two. We talked about it and decided to have nothing to do with it. So we noticed a tourist coupon magazine rack. The ones you see mainly at rest areas. We picked up one of the mags and started looking through it for a reasonable(cheap) hotel there. It being the off season as it was should not have been too bad. We looked through it and found the one called the Paradise Hotel, which, was right on the beach, O.K. across the street from it. Needless to say the name sounded perfect all by itself. We had gotten to it and checked in noticing that the place was fairly vacant. All the better for us anyway. Was alright, even if it wasn't, we took a room on the far outside corner of the building. A little more quiet, not sure for who though...us or maybe them...LOL Belle knows what I am talking about. As it was the time we had could not have been more perfect in all we did. And to mention it, all we did was spend time together, nothing special, just together like we have always wanted. I guess if I had to pick one moment outside the room, would have to be watching the fish in the marina chase around a flashlight beam we shined in the water. We both laughed like kids and got a big kick out of it. Oh sure the casino was fun, the the walks were fun, but that one moment is one where you wish you could just freeze time. But the other times were grand on a different scale all by themselves. The dinners together, looking at each other across the table, the drinks we had in the little bar the hotel had, the morning(?) breakfasts with the little, very talkative waitress that we had, to just sitting out at the picnic table and reading the local newspaper. It was a time, that will forever be with me. I have been a very lucky man to have these time with her and look forward to many more. Now thats Amore'!  | | | |

He had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire. She is pregnant. When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest. A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, "The Observer," noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman. He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do. As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him, just as the photographer snapped this photograph.

Well Belle, I do know what you mean. I guess I a few that you could tell as well, but somehow I think that yours might be just a bit funnier than the one or two you may have on me. I guess I could start with the one of your purse in a paper box with the cop standing there. I will let you finish telling that one.....lol
