Stealing a line from the play Romeo and Juliet, as Juliet says goodnight to Romeo, their sorrowful parting is also "sweet", because it makes them think about the next time they will see each other. Such is what I felt as Craig and I parted ways at the Loves Truck Stop just north of Modesto. My Mother was there to pick me up, and the joy on her face to see me, made the pain of leaving Craig again more bearable, but sad just the same.I know, sappy isn't it? But we can't help it. Really, we are so compatible out there on the road, together 24/7, that we don't look forward to being apart. He is the Ying to my Yang, or is it the Yang to my Ying? You get the idea, but I can't delve too long on these matters, I had to make a phone call and get a hair appointment scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. After that is completed, I can go back to yearning for my departed Romeo to return.
I enjoyed the sunset last night, as we made our way out of
Los Angeles, and the sun cast it's color pallet upon the clouds. We made it into Wheeler Ridge for the night, cursed the heavens when not one, but four cattle trucks decided to make their homes next to us. Upon arising this morning, we were thankful that they had departed the premises and we went for a little walk to the Starbucks for a morning coffee.It was then time to head towards Ripon, CA and the transfer of me from the truck to my Mom's waiting car. Craig will be in Corning, CA tonight, with a little under 500 miles to drive tomorrow to stage for his Friday m
orning delivery in Auburn, WA. We are hoping for a quick turn around from him to come back through California to pick me back up. Until then, using the words of Juliet, Goodnight, goodnight! Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.

I was thinking of Rapunzel.
After my haircut last night, there isn't enough hair left to cover my ears, let alone hang out a window.
