Belated Mother's Day

Here I am, a day late and a dollar short! :) Happy belated Mother's Day to all mothers out there. I spent mine in El Paso, Texas first sitting at the Kenworth dealer getting some work done on the truck and then at the Petro truck stop for good dinner, complete with live music. All the ladies got a carnation corsage, 2 chocolate-covered strawberries and a gift card for 20% off our next visit. I also got a call from my daughter in the morning, from my father in the afternoon and from my grandson in the evening. What a way to stretch out a great day!

We've been in El Paso since Friday morning. Talk about hot--our truck thermometer said 110 degrees on Saturday afternoon. On the way in to the delivery point in the wee hours of the morning, I was driving when I saw digital signs that said: EXTREME WILDFIRE DANGER. It just about freaked me out. We haven't seen anything but the conditions are there. It is so dry here that the palm trees are withering. A sad sight to see!

While we wait for another load opportunity I must share one more restroom story that happened this morning at the Petro. After breakfast I walked into the "loo" only to see a man washing his glasses and brushing his teeth in the WOMEN's restroom. I turned around and told one of the employees. She walked in to set him straight but said he wasn't there. I walked back in to see his boots under a stall door. Out I went again and found the same employee. After telling her what I'd seen she contacted the manager and together they went in. In the meantime another woman went in--she's the only one the manager found in there. The mysterious man must have exited while I was getting help! As we were leaving the building I told Ron that they must think I'm really the strange one! Aaahhhh well, such is life on the road!

Such are the ramblings for today. Until later . . . . . .
