Today, history was made.

Just this morning, President Bush signed the new GI Bill into law. Since we are only a few days away from celebrating the 4th of July, this milestone is a fitting way to honor our veterans who have bravely served this nation.

IAVA has led the fight for the new GI Bill from the beginning, and your dedication over the past year and a half ensured that our lawmakers kept it a top priority. Over 20,000 of you called your representatives in Congress, spread the word in your communities and signed the petition at www.GIBill2008.org. Thanks to your hard work, we finally achieved our goal.

Generations of veterans to come will benefit from this bill. Your support in this fight has been overwhelming- very few bills in recent history have received such an outpouring of public support. Together, we can be extremely proud of this victory.

In a few days, we'll let you know more about this remarkable bill and how IAVA plans to help veterans take full advantage of these new benefits.

Thank you for standing with IAVA throughout this fight.

Sincerely,

Well, my time at home was much too short, the first day, we got home around 3 p.m. after unpacking, I then proceed to mow our yard which wasn't as tall as I thought it would be for 2 weeks growth. The next day had my doctor appointment in a city about 70 miles away and took most of that day , got home around 3, so most of that day 'home' was short, the next day I had to go to town and get this weeks supplies and groceries and spent about 4 hours in town,got to go to a new store in town that is up my ally, a flee market/ antique kind of store, I found me some neat treasures, an anaconda purse, for only 10 $, some real stone jewelry with very cheap prices, and so I was in 7th heaven with all my finds, did spend way to much, thank goodness I don't do   this kind of shopping too often, so there went my next 'day' home,  so yesterday spent my only full day at home, it rained all day got about 2 inches of rain, spent this home day piddle farting around, and doing laundry and packing to go back on the road.

We are  now headed out to West Kansas to pick up a load of raw milk to take either to Winnsboro Tex. or Sulphur Springs Tex. don't know exactly the destination till this evening.

I got a call this morning from my brother who is truck driver too, and he told me of an humorous/sad  situation according to how you want to view it, He was spending his sleep time at a pickle park just north of Wichita Ks. As he was trying to sleep he was wakened by a naked drugged 'lot lizard' /prostitute,  she had needle marks all over her arms and legs. anyhoo, she hollers out at him asking if he wanted to have sex, He told her to leave, she then goes and knocks on other trucker doors, and then came back to his, he then calls 911 and the cops show up about 5 min. later and proceeds to try to get her, she is higher than a kite on drugs, she is screaming and kicking and hitting these 2 officers , they try to handcuff her she then  kicks one of then extremely hard in his 'manhood' area, apparently so hard that it incapacitates him, he is puking and so the other officer tries to go it alone, she pees all over the guy, then hwy patrol shows up, and man and woman officers and the 3 of them wrestles her to the ground and finally get her in back seat of the patrol car, the ambulance shows up to take the injured officer to hospital. Of all places for something like this to happen , Kansas,  of all places, 'they' are definitely everywhere!

Life on the road can be interesting at times, but more times than not it is same o same o just like any other job. I do hope this week is interesting in a good, way!

I hope all have a wonderful week, take care,

blessings,

Well yesterday we finally made it to Henderson , Co. to pick up our load of milk, what we find is one of the trailer tires has an inch long bolt in the middle of it,leaking out air but not real fast. This just gets my goat, they could of fixed the blasted tire been sitting on their lot over 3 hours, and they have a garage, they said the don't fix the tire, and our company don't use recaps on trailers so we had to fill the tire up with air and head on down the road till we got to a TA travel center , got to Limon Co. and had to wait 3 hours to get it fixed, there goes trying to get home early.

Now we are about 4 hours  out from home should be there between 1 and 2 today. Can't wait to get home, I know our yard will be in desperate need of a mowing which I will have to do this after noon in the heat of the day.

I am dreading going in to Springfield , Mo. tomorrow, I have a 2nd. mammogram and ultra sound scheduled at 9:45, I hope there is no cancer, they found a 'suspicious' nodule , so wish me luck with that!

I noticed this week that traffic  volumn  is down , I wonder if people really are finally understanding that this is a long term ordeal with fuel prices, we either are going to have to buy very good gas efficient vehicles, and /or stay home more.I also noticed that I haven't seen a single RV today, usually this time of year we see at least over 25 a day. I bet that puts a damper on RVsales and vacationing by RV.

Well I am oh so glad that this week is about over and I hope we will have a better trip next time.

have a happy day everyone
