Yipee! After hours and hours of waiting, our truck is finally fixed! Tim was a sweet husband...he let me enjoy the comfort of the driver's lounge while he "camped out" on the lift gate of the truck. The shop would not allow us inside the truck while it was being worked on today, and we had to keep the back of the truck in sight, so.... as you can see, Tim had quite a neat little set up. :o)
Tim insisted I share this little story. Yesterday, I was sitting in the truck and one of the service guys opened the door to do something. He thought he had scared me, so I guess he felt he should make some small talk. He asked where we were from to which I replied, "Arkansas." "Oh, Are you Irish?" HUH???? That's a first!! I was taken a little off guard, but I told him no and that actually my husband was the one from AR, I am actually from upstate NY. "Oh, well my mother is from Arkansas and she's Irish," he replied. Again I had to quickly disguise my reaction. Let's just say we're in EL PASO, TX and the guy looked about as far from being Irish as anyone I've ever met!! Oh well, ya never know! Anyway, the story is a bit funnier if I TELL it, I've never been a good writer (where's Travis when you need him?).
Anyway, we are FINALLY ready to hit the road! Arizona, here we come!!!

SOO glad and relieved!!! But, will you make it to home for Christmas - Arizona seems like the wrong direction; but maybe it doesn't matter as much as you all get around!
Yeah! Now high tail it over here. I'll pray for a good load that will take you all the way here. I took pics of the kids Christmas program at school. Once again the sound was terrible and the kids really had a great program but you couldn't hear or understand them half the time. The best song was the last one and the Principal directed the whole group of over 100 children and it was great. Maybe he should have directed a few more and we would have heard the kids.
Glad to hear you are back in business!
