Catching Up

After Niagra Falls, we have traveled many miles and seen many things. I don't have many pictures of those things, but we saw them, nonetheless. :o) Last weekend we had a bit of excitement. Our refridgerated unit on our box broke down (air compressor went bad). We had to get that fixed as we have been hauling many refer loads lately. Fortunately, we were in Charlotte, NC when this tragedy happened. I grew up in that area, and Tim and I both lived there for a while when we first got married. Needless to say, we have many friends there.
One such friend, Terri Russell, was gracious enough to allow us to stay in her home for the weekend. She had a very busy schedule already in place for herself, so we had the run of her lovely home. It was like a mini vacation for us. Thanks Terri!

Some other good friends of ours, Bill and Lois Brown and Bill's son William invited us to a delicious Sunday dinner. It's so nice to have friends that will look out for you when your stranded. :o)

We were also able to meet us with some friends in Charlotte. We have known the Horner Family and Michael Macalouso for many years and always enjoy visiting with them when we are in the area.

After they finally got our truck fixed, we headed to Indiana. From there we were immediately dispatched on a load to Connecticut. That brings us up to last Friday. While in CT, we were given our next load assignment going from New Jersey to Texas. The exciting part is, it doesn't pick up until Monday afternoon! That meant we had the weekend off! :o) My parents had told me they were going to Richland, NY to visit a camp meeting, so we worked it out to meet them in Binghampton and rode up to Richland with them (stopping at their favorite seafood resturaunt- Eddie's on the way). Unfortunately, I left my camera in our truck :o( so I wasn't able to get any pictures. We saw many old friends there--The evangelists were Brother MR McCrary and Brother Reiff, and the singers were the Fullers. It was like a Hobe Sound reunion. Brother and Sister Blowers took good care of us for the weekend. They even took us to a WONDERFUL icecream place Saturday night after the service.
We are now back in our truck getting ready for the week ahead...who knows where we might be or who we might see by the end of the week....
