BACK TO THE WARM SPOT
Am starting to wonder if we need to move our stuff down here with our son in Houston. We are coming through here more often than Joplin. We stopped east of Des Moines last night and drove on in to Cedar Rapids this morning. Worked out good. Got a load assignment while we were being unloaded, so we had it all routed by the time we were through. Ran down to Fort Madison and picked up this load to take into Pasadena, TX.... which is really Houston. Have stopped for our 10 hour break and will run the most of the way on in tomorrow. We deliver Thursday morning, so I'm hoping we have managed to get in between the rain storms. We got into some of it leaving Texas last time after we got to the Oklahoma and Kansas border. Saw a little color in the leaves coming out of Iowa... was kinda hoping for a more easterly run to see the trees before the leaves fall off. Maybe next time. I won't complain if we stay out of New York. : ) The Carolina's would be o.k. or Pennsylvania. Anyway... the cool nights are good, wore a sweatshirt in Iowa this morning... was raining so I had to put real shoes on instead of crocs... didn't want cold, wet, feet. O.K. ... so I'm ready for bed. I expect Ricky is too... he has been fighting a kidney stone for around 2 week, he's a little stone factory... just wish he'd pass them without so much trouble. Catch ya'll up later.

Living our Dream.. one day at a time...Belinda and Ricky
