IN AND OUT

We got up early this morning and eased through Houston. Early satudays are a good traffic time for such a busy city, Dayton is about 40 miles north of Houston. We went west on 10 and caught 35 all the way down to Laredo. Stopped at a little restaurant named Franks Place for breakfast. It has been there for a long time, they had a lot of pictures around the walls of the progression through the years. Even a picture of the owners with Joan Crawford, the actress. I can't remember what the years were under the pictures, but it was real interesting.. and the food was good.. : )
We watched so many CFI trucks coming north as we went south, that we were sure we would have to wait on a load till tomorrow or Monday. Not the case though., there were a few trucks still in the yard when we arrived, but no one on the board, so Ricky got a load to Oklahoma City for Monday as soon as he checked in. We had a few hours left on the clock, so we took off to get a head start. Made it to just north of San Antonio and pulled into the TA. Ricky hooked us up to IdleAire and turned some Air on for Paco and we took off for a long shower. I'm gonna sleep good tonight. We are close enough there will be no wee hour take off in the morning : )Ricky is reading his boards and surfing his net and I am listening to a little TV while I catch you up, and Paco is trying to crawl under the covers behind my back. He is liking this more relaxed atmosphere. : )
Gonna wrap this up before I get disconnected. Catch you up later.

Dreamin our Dream... Belinda and Ricky
