AHHHHH, FALL......
Well, here I am, behind again... : ( Sorry! We took off from Meridian, with a load from there going to just outside of Indianapolis. We drove in so much rain, I was glad to finally get there. That gave us a chance to see our girls. After we delivered the keyboards and amps, we couldn't pick up our new load till 6:00 the next morning. So we called Holly and she came and took us back to Kelly and Brian's new house. We stopped at a pumpkin patch on the way there and Ricky bought Holly a pumpkin to carve and me some apple cider and him some tomatoes for sandwiches. Got to the house, and it is a beautiful 2 story with 3 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths, and we all went out to eat and visit. Stayed for just a couple of hours, cause we had to get a nap for a long run the next morning to Knoxville, TN. The ride up there was gorgeous from north TN up to Indy. The trees were in their prime colors. We couldn't have timed it better. Going back through Kentucky down to Knoxville was even better, cause there was no more rain, : ) After we dropped that relay, we picked up a load to Byhalia, MS and then one from there to West Memphis for a relay and did a short local delivery there before we went to Paragould, AR to pick up a load of shocks at the Monroe place to go to Mexico, which we took to Laredo to be relayed of course. We were 72 on the board when we got here to Laredo Saturday night. We are 10 this morning... Monday... Ricky delivered our shocks to the broker this morning and then did a local run to another broker with a load that was here on the yard. I took a shower while he was gone, I had the laundry already done from Sunday, so now, here we sit.....waiting on what we hope will be a really good load, with some good miles. We did get a 34 hr reset though, and that was a good thing. So, now you are all caught up. Oh, by the way, last Thursday was my birthday, and all my kids and Grand kids called to wish me a Happy Birthday.. and that was great!! I guess I'm through ramblin for now.... Later...

Livin our Dream...Belinda and Ricky

Happy Belated Birthday, Belinda. I always enjoy reading about your travels, although, I don't comment much. Don't forget us if you ever get home. We still miss you on Tuesday night. I'm in bad need of a Yellow Rock. Hugs, Clint
