WINTER TIME IS HERE
We got up at 5:00am and the spots of water on the parking lot were frozen, just spots, we didn't get ice on everything. Thank goodness! Ricky drove on up to our delivery with ease. Got unloaded in just an hour this time.
Yessss that is a double plus. Right after Ricky punched in our empty call, we got a new dispatch, that's the way we like it to be. We left Hartford, MI and ran up to Zeeland, just out from Holland, where all the tulip bulbs come from : ) and we saw lots of blueberry bushes on our way there too... Picked up a truck load of pickles and are backtracking going right back to the same area we just left in New York, in fact we will take the same exit off of hwy 90 and stay in the casino parking lot again, cause our delivery isn't till Friday, but in Rome instead of Marcy. We drove to a service plaza just west of Cleveland and are staying here for the night. We took free showers here. This is a wonderful service they provide for truckers, even though they pay alot in toll charges.They have a lounge with TV's and a laundry too. The weather is saying snow and ice by in the morning here and all the way up to NY, we were hoping to get up there before it caught up with us, wish we had checked before we shutdown, would have driven further for the night. Oh well, I'm riding with a professional truck driver, : ) he can handle it : ) Gonna highlight for home after we deliver this load... gotta get home and get my tree up and shop for my Cody and Emily!! Get my Christmas cookies and candy made and plan that big Christmas dinner : ) Told you this snow is puttin me in the mood... : ) Gotta get in the bed, think we will leave alittle early in the morning to get ahead of the majority of the weather. Catch you up later.

Livin the Dream...Belinda and Ricky
