Mmmmmmm

My belly is very HAPPY. We got to Oklahoma City just a little while ago. Supper time. : ) We delivered a load in this same area about a month ago. The Flying J is right next to a Cracker Barrel....chicken and dumplings, turnip greens, fried okra and cornbread muffins.... that's the best. Not often we can park were we can eat food this good. Didn't have to get up real early this morning. Had the clock set for 6:00. Got up, Ricky took Paco out and then we went in for our coffee and potty breaks before we got on the road. On our way in the truck, Ricky always tells me to check the tires on my side as I go to my door. Kicked the first outside tire on the trailer in the back...gooood... kicked the inside one on the rear... not right.. hollered at Ricky to come double check it... shoottttttt it's flat. Soooooo, call road service...thank goodness we are still at the TA. Pull around to the service bay... nobody's working.. one of the shop guys called in and the other is out on a road call. We are there 3 hrs waiting for them to get someone in to fix our flat and wind up needing a new tire instead. Sooo after all that we get on the road and have a nice trip on up to Oklahoma. Came on up to the J and our delivery is just right here by us and it's not till 7:00am. No wee hours two nights in a row...yesssssss. So I guess I'll go for now, Paco is digging into the pillowcase, hinting for bed time.

Dreamin our Dream...Belinda and Ricky
