    hoover dam

    I remember the 1st.time I saw Hoover Dam, it was back in the mid-1990's.I was so excited that I was hanging out that passenger window, just a regular old tourist...keeping a running comment for my husband as he was trying to drive and trying to see what I was talking about. As a "country girl"...

    Spring Cleaning

    Just the thought of "Spring" without the cold and snow makes me happy. Has anyone came up with a sure-fire way of cleaning overhead without killing themselves? I use a swiffer (with long handle) to keep it dusted but sure would like to do some good old-fashioned scrubbing up there.

    Nice beginning to our day!

    A couple of weeks ago,we stopped at a rest area in Tx. I always try to avoid the people who are looking for hand-outs. Sure enough,parked close to the restrooms was a broken-down car with a couple and three children. They explained that their car had broken down and just needed enough money to...

    Ladies---Come out---Whereever you Are!

    I sometimes wonder where I am...its the fun of going to sleep in one place and waking up in another one.I'm waiting and praying for spring and if I never ever see another snowflake it will be too soon.

    leg cramps

    Thanks so much,I will check with the doctor when we come home for the holidays. I am no wearing the Nikes while driving,so maybe that will help...and will try stopping a bit more often to get out and stretch my legs.

    leg cramps

    For some strange reason for the past few weeks, I have been getting leg cramps and my feet are swelling after just a few hours of driving. Does anyone have a solution that I can try? For the one who said "life begins at 40" well,I really owe him one.It has been a downhill slide ever since.x(

    Misconceptions about life on the road

    I remember packing just like I was going on a long vacation,in 1 location.Since I had never did alot of traveling,I didn't understand that it could be 70 degrees in one state and 40 degrees in another.Lets just say,I learned a very valuable lesson: Pack for all seasons. I hate to admit this: I...

    Since most of us have had other careers and even now as expediters,we enjoy getting out of our trucks.What was the very best vacation you ever remember taking?
