HAPPY LABOR DAY
Ricky is taking a nap, so I decided to use his computer, since it's already sitting out. Mine is somewhere in the back and we've been so busy since I got back on the truck, driving and sleeping, and getting loads picked up and delivered, I haven't tried to dig it out.

I had a good visit with moma, we sat with a friend that had a stroke, we gave him a few laughs and fetched stuff for him, keeping him company while his wife was at work. We got to go out to eat a few times and shopped at Wal Mart...about the only variety store left in the town.
We went up to Indy for Holly's wedding, was a very pretty ceremony and our new son-in-law, Ryan, is very sweet, he is a fireman at a small station there. Our son, Jason and his family couldn't make it, he was having meetings at work he couldn't miss. Our son Daniel flew in from Houston. His wife Tricia, wasn't able to come, she was taking care of things at her mother's while they were away. We had a good visit with Kelly and Brian, Daniel, and Ricky. He got there the day before us. He didn't get a run back by mama's to get me till our 35th anniversary, August 4th. Mama drove me up to Crystal Springs, just south of Jackson, to meet Ricky, on his way from El Paso, TX to Buford, GA.

So we are back together, just busier than we've been in a while. : ) This weekend kinda ended our good run though, did a 3 stop pick up on Friday, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, to finish up in Illinois, but can't deliver till Tuesday afternoon. So we got a hotel room, out from Peoria, for 2 nights and moved back in the truck today to wait for our delivery tomorrow. We are suppose to be getting a load to get us home by Friday, after we unload this one. I am past ready to see my Cody and Emily, I have missed this whole summer with them. Cody has started 1st grade last week. Mamue's got a sack full of treats though, when I see them. : ) maybe they will forgive me.

Guess I'll go for now, got you caught up for now.

Living the Dream.....Belinda and Ricky
