I can't believe it's been 31/2 weeks since I've posted but there it is on the calender. I'm sorry for taking so long. We were home for 2 weeks for the holidays. What a blessing after 3 months on the road. We were able to get a lot done: bought a new car (2012 Honda CRV), got new glasses for both of us, got my annual physical done, I got a new phone (I had to update in order for both of us to get an employee discount from Verizon), caught up with friends, enjoyed family at Christmas and had New Year's Eve dinner at Red Lobster. I'd say we got a lot accomplished even though Ron was sick when we got home and I got sick over Christmas. We even celebrated Caleb's birthday before going back on the road.
We went back to work on January 3 and runs were slow in coming that first week, as usual. We spent the first part of the weekend in Houston and had a wonderful time visiting with my niece, April, her husband, Jesse, and their children, Jessica and Joshua. Jessica was the flower girl in our wedding and seriously injured in a car accident a month later. The amount of recuperation she has made is nothing short of several miracles. Both kids are growing up too fast. We were able to spend about 3 hours with them. After their departure we left Houston and headed to Arkansas on Saturday afternoon for a pick up on Monday morning. This was about 20 miles from my sister's home so we were able to spend Sunday with them. It was a pleasure to attend their church with them and join their friends for dinner at our favorite pizza place, Larry's for Sunday buffet. This is the neatest place as the pizzas are brought around to the tables. If you don't get a particular kind you can special order whatever you want. We love ending the meal with dessert of bavarian cream or peanut butter-chocolate chip pizza. DELICIOUS !!!!
The weather in the south was wonderful. We were in capris and t-shirts the entire weekend. This weekend we are in Pennsylvania with snow on the ground and in the air. We are in sweatpants and flannel shirts trying to avoid cold feet and brain freeze. :) We will be here until Monday and then on to Long Island, NY, back to Pennsylvania and on to Baltimore. I'm hoping that the major snow waits until we can get out of here. Oh, how we want to go back south to some warmer weather. What is helping is that I'm making blankets for 2 of my great-nephews. Certainly keeps my lap warm while working on them.
Well, it's time to be thinking about dinner for tonight and getting some things planned in the food department for the road. Tonight's menu is grilled burgers, broccoli & cheese, salad and fruit. Since we're sitting still I get the chance to cook. I'll be making chicken salad for sandwiches on the road later. It really helps to get things done ahead of time because some of our runs are direct runs straight through and overnight.
I hope this has everyone caught up on our travels. Until next time . . . . . . . .
