Well, Linda and I are looking foreward to some home time at Christmas.
She has cookies and cakes to bake. I have repairs to catch up on.
And of course visit with family and friends.
After leaving home this Thanksgiving, we have made a big happy face on the map.
Starting up in Maine, to Orlando, to LA, to Seattle and then Dallas, where we sit resetting
our clocks as I write this in the comfort of our bunk.
We got out of Washington just ahead of the big nasty that blew in Friday.
Our GPS wanted us to go via Montana to Texas. I think I'd just be digging out out
now if I had gone that way. Opted to go south on 5 to 10. A little longer but we dropped
on time in Dallas. We did get chained at Grants Pass, lost about 6 hours.
Well, this load got us half way home, 1 or 2 more runs and we'll wrap up the year.
I want to share a Christmas Fav of mine and wish everyone on EOLand Merry Christmas!!!!
Enjoy.
