I got diferent truck yesterday it is a small one shore seems funny too drive it after driving the big one. I am driving the officers now. Say have you heard from Ben. I will have to find out just where he is now and get a week end and get together again. I seen him in a convoy he was going one way and me another and I couldn’t stop and talk to him. But he waved at me so I think he recogniced me. Well honey I really don’t know what to write till I find out how things are with you and I am not doing much was in the kichen today.
