Dear Love,

Sorry I haven’t written for a couple of days. I don’t have an excuse, not much is going on around here. We had a hail storm two nights ago which destroyed the wheat crop. So, I’m not sure how we are going to make the loan payment.

Lenny wrecked the tractor. So, now we are going to have to buy a new one. He ran it into the combine.  He says he didn’t see it.  I don’t know how he missed it, the thing weighs about six tons.  We had to put the combine in the shop.  Do you know how expensive it is to tow a combine?

Lenny wrecked the truck again. Now don’t you worry, he fine.  Doc says he will be out of the hospital and into rehab in a couple of days. He should be walking again by the end of the year.

The judge suspended his driver’s license, again. Normally, I would have to drive him to work, except they fired him. He’s only wrecked the company truck one time. They said he was drinking on the job. Lenny says he only drank two beers at lunch. So, he was on his own time and he was not in the company truck. I think they wanted to get rid of him because Lenny figured out what they were really up to. I can’t tell you in an email, you know, all that Spy Ware stuff. I’ll have to call you on my cell phone so it can be private. I’ll tell you everything Lenny knows about that company. Believe me, you don’t want to work for them.

The building inspector was here today to look at the structure damage to the house. The county required the house be inspected before we started the repairs. Everything will be okay. Lenny just lost control of the lawn tractor the other day when he was mowing. It’s not his fault, he was reading the jokes in Reader’s Digest and forgot to watch where he was going.

I got a letter from the insurance company. They are denying our claim and canceling our policy because Lenny has had three wrecks this year and it’s only January. I can’t tell you how upset I am. Just because Lenny has had some bad luck this month does not mean that the entire year is going to be like this. I mean, altogether, he only had five wrecks last year. Insurance companies will cancel you for no reason. That’s the third time in two years that we have been canceled. Well, at least I won’t have to make insurance payments for a few months until the county and the finance company start complaining.

Well, Love, sorry this note is so short. Lenny just called me from the hospital. He can’t stand that water stuff they want him to drink. He wants me to take him some beer. Hospitals are so unreasonable. They won’t let me take his beer in to him. I have to hide it in my tote bag with my knitting. It’s not like he’s doing something wrong. I don’t believe that crap that the beer and his medicine won’t mix. They just don’t want Lenny to be happy, that’s all.

You be sure to write to me, okay? I haven’t heard from you for a long time.

Love you!!

Me
