FALL IS IN THE AIR
Took our load on in to Houston and was glad to get rid of that heavy sucker. We were on the southeast corner of Houston and on a week day, so we didn't get to see our son on this trip. Sat at the nearest truckstop for a good while before we finally got a dispatch to pick up on the north side of town to go to Laredo. Was the same place we had taken the tires to from Alabama last week, so a plus was that we knew right where it was. So off we go back to Laredo. We delivered that load and got one to Meridian, MS. My Ricky's hometown, before we happened upon each other. So he has cousins and uncles and aunts still there. We give them a call and they meet us here at a truckstop that had great food in their restaurant, homemade tasting food. Had a great meal and visit with two of his cousins and an aunt and uncle. Since we moved to Missouri, we haven't had many visits back here to Meridian, with four kids in school and a business to run during those years there weren't many opportunities, so this was a special day. Anyway, we deliver in the morning and then.... where to? Will let you know later. Maybe I can get down to mama's this next trip. No time to do it coming here, on our way out, maybe? We were in a night running cycle so I haven't been up on my correspondence this week, sorry... will try to do better this week.
Oh, my Holly made it to Indianapolis safe and sound today, she had a little side trip with a wrong turn, was going west when she needed to be going east, but phoned her moma and we got her going in the right direction. I'm so proud of her, she scares me sometimes though, cause she's not scared of anything, except... maybe spiders. : )
Hopefully this move will be a good one, I wish only the best for my children. Letting them grow up is hard.
Gotta wind this up and get in the bed. So till next time... Oh.. by the way.. he still hasn't passed the stone. : (

Living our Dream.. Belinda and Ricky
