AT MY POST
Wow, it's truly been a while since I have been on the job of keeping this up to date. There is not much signal here for the computer or my cell phone. So I'm not sure how many posts there will be while I'm here. Hopefully more than there has been.. ; )
We had a great Thanksgiving and I got to go back out with Ricky for a short time. We came back home a week before Christmas and got our shopping and decorating and celebrating done for that holiday. Cody and Emily had a great time and so did their Mamue and Paw Paw!
We left from home on Friday night after Christmas to set back up in the truck. There was no board when Ricky checked in at the terminal so we got a load right away to go to Canada. We threw our stuff in and took off to get ahead of a weather front of high winds. We drove to Illinois and took a 3 hour nap and then we took off for Indianapolis to do our 10 hour break.
So we made a decision to leave me there with Kelly, to spend a little time with her and Brian, before I go to Holly and Ryan's to get ready for Miss Kaitlynn to arrive. I spent a nice week, mostly with Brian, since Kelly had to work, we had a good visit. When Kelly was home we watched old movies, made a cake, and had some good meals out.
Now I am at Holly's and we are having a good visit, hoping our new grandbaby comes soon, mostly so my Holly can get some relief in her back. She looks like a toothpick with an olive stuck on it. : ) She is so small herself this is really getting hard on her this last few weeks. The baby is a real gymnast in those small quarters.
Ricky is on his way to El Paso today, he went on to Canada from here and was lucky to get out the next day after he delivered. Power was out in Detroit when he went across the border from a strong storm that blew down a lot of lines. He was lucky that the power to the terminal had been restored an hour before he was getting his escape papers faxed back to him, so that he could come across the border with his load to Ohio. He got that load delivered then picked up one in Cincinnati and took it to Atlanta, Ga.
He got there in time to sit for the New Year and for a couple more days waiting to get a new load. Finally he ran up just north of Atlanta to pick up a beer load and run it to Memphis, I guess they drank all theirs over New Years... Ha,Ha.... He got in the icy weather when he got to West Memphis, he did some local work for the terminal after he delivered his beer. The temps were just at freezing, so it was raining and freezing on everything.
He left the next day after picking up his load in Memphis taking it to El Paso, Tx. He called me as he drove across Arkansas, telling me of all the ice on the trees east of Little Rock. I called him last night and he was just getting into Lancaster for the night. He was a tired puppy when he made his landing there. He got up and called me for my good morning call and is going across west Texas now, out of the bad weather finally.
Well, now we are caught up...except, yesterday was my baby son's birthday...number 30!!! Happy Birthday again, Jason, we love you!!
Until next time.....
