I'm Baaacccckkkkkk! Finally!

Hello faithful friends.  It has been too long since I last posted and I am ashamed of myself for it.  My only excuse is that we have been on the go with mostly all-night runs while working.  At home it's been hectic trying to get everything done that needed to get done before heading out on the road.

We were home the first part of March for about 10 days.  We had to get fingerprinted in order to renew our hazard materials endorsements on our drivers licenses.  The security checks done now are sometimes a pain.   This check can take up to 30 days and my license expired on May 19.  So back to driving for the next 6 weeks.  We had planned to be home the 2nd week of May but we had load that delivered near Chicago on April 29 so we came home a couple weeks early.  I got my license, complete with haz-mat and tank endorsements; Ron got his license renewed early; had his DOT physical; and we were able to spend Mother's Day with Robyn and Caleb. YAY!

We got back on the road May 13 and have been all over the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific since then.  We got to spend my birthday in Tampa with Ron's sister and a couple of her friends.  Had some really hot days of summer there.  Then went to California a week later.  From California we headed to Colorado. Had 2 days of lazy days in Denver.  After Denver we went to pick up a load Tuesday in Logan, Utah (between Salt Lake City and the Idaho state line).  This load was delivered this past Friday in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Talk about a long run.  We are spending this weekend in Willington, Connecticut.  We have a load to pick up in New Jersey Monday morning to deliver Wednesday afternoon in Aurora, Colorado.

I took these pictures from my phone while we were driving to our locations.  The top picture is of Vail, Colorado and was taken on May 31, 2013 in the morning.  They had new snowfall after Memorial Day.  Totally amazing!  The 2nd picture is of Bear Lake, Utah taken on June 4, 2013 in the afternoon.  This lake is very large and runs from Utah into Idaho.  There is a very nice resort around this lake and there are mountain cabins looking over all of it.  Such beautiful scenery created for us!  How blessed we are to be able travel around America and be among all this beauty.  Now that the fair weather has arrived we are taking advantage of as much of the countryside as possible.  It's just too gorgeous to ignore.

I got a new laptop for my birthday as well as a Kindle Fire HD and am feeling a little overwhelmed by all the new technology.  But loving all of it.  That will be the subject of my next blog.  Until next time . . . . . . . .
