I had a wonderful weekend! I spent time with DH, and while he was sleeping I had time to get online a while yesterday morning and had time to sew while he was sleeping this morning. He is a late sleeper / nighttime driver and I am an early riser / daytime driver. This afternoon we put down new carpet in his truck. There was a couple pieces left big enough for me to put a couple "mats" in my truck. I prefer smaller mats..much easier to pick up and shake the dirt off outside. I have carpet in the… Continue

When I got up this morning I knew it would be a hectic day. Had to wait for an empty trailer then drive 100 miles to reload. Fill out trip envelopes to get paid, make several phone calls as early as possible, and wound up having to do the "watermelon 500" just before rush hour was over tonight...in the misting rain.

Has anyone heard of Charles Johnson and the Revivers? They are a Southern Gospel group from Durham, NC that's been around for about 25 or so yrs. "Let's Have Church" is my favorite CD by them.

Hauled my first load with my new truck yesterday. It drives and rides good. Shifts alot easier than I expected. Last night was the first night sleeping in my new bed, and even tho I had to be parked downhill I slept like a baby! Didn't reload today so I bobtailed to Wal-Mart, did some shopping then came up to the truck stop. Made some progress on my clamshell quilt. Almost have the border far enough to attach it to the main part (only 40 more pieces). And when I looked at our settlement sheets f… Continue

I have everything moved to my new truck. It's not all put away but it's in there. Love the cabinets with latching doors. Will probably be arranging and rearranging for a while.
Tommorrow I sign the papers for it and get all the other stuff set up....ins, prepass, ect. My DS come by to look at it earlier and he said he really likes it. I took some pictures that I am going to post on my page in a minute.
