HOME SWEET HOME
We're on the road, together again. Finally have everyone better. Jenn is back into her normal routine, Kelly is settling in her new surroundings in Indy, Holly is getting things together to move to Indy, and I'm back with my Honey : ) Well, let's see, first, we finish his run from Laredo, after he makes an over night stop in Joplin, to get me, and ends up getting a new windshield in the truck, caused by a Texas rock, to Indianapolis. So we get to see Kelly and Brian for a quick supper, we didn't have time to go see their new house this time... : ( but they got to have a truckstop supper with us... hadn't seen them since May, so even a short visit is a good one. Made our delivery the next morning a short piece away, then got a dispatch to go north of Indy for a pick up to run to Laredo. So off we went and got a quick light load... dog rawhide chew toys.. Good thing Paco doesn't like them.. : ) Got just into Texas for our night stop..when we went on towards Dallas the next morning we got caught up in some pretty hard rain with some fog and heavy traffic.. not a good start to the day. We were lucky that it disappeared not to far on the other side of Dallas, so the rest of the trip was sunny. Got into Laredo and our hours were up.. so shower and laundry time. Then Ricky checks in and gets a load to Mississippi, hhmmm, a visit to mama? Wellll.... no... this is Wednesday night..our hours don't pick up till the morning and the load has to be there Friday morning.. Mama's would take us too far out of route for the time span..so hopefully we will get the opportunity soon though. Any way, we got the load delivered this morning, and we are now in West Memphis waiting for a new dispatch... sure is good to be back with my partner though, I missed him. My grandbabies and I had a good time together though..been a long time since I had to get a little one off to kindergarten..Cody said his Mamue's bed puts him right to sleep..( I have a water bed) he loves to sleep in my bed. Emily kinda likes it too. Told them I had to go be with PawPaw though so he could make Christmas and candy money. Gonna go for now...catch you up later...

Living the Dream, beside each other..Belinda and Ricky
