Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends.
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way
is on the road again.
It has been a while since I've been on the truck full time. A lot has happened over the past year beginning with the passing of my Mother, and now the beginning of Craig and I once again traveling together in the big green tractor. I've enjoyed actually living in our home we've had for almost five years, but know that my "home" truly is wherever Craig is, so the passenger seat beside him will once again be occupied by me, my computer and my camera.
I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself with the usual shippers and receivers, and enjoying the ever changing scenery and experiences we will no doubt be sharing being out on the road again. We packed our bags and headed out to the company yard last night, but not before stopping for a nice celebratory dinner and a shopping trip at WalMart. Then we went about organizing the truck to accommodate both of our personal stuff, making beds, and putting away groceries.
Talk about perfect timing. We left home just in time to miss the first snow of the season, and awoke in the company yard to a winter wonderland of whiteness. I'm sure this will be the first of many, many days of enjoying snow while on our travels.
Our dispatch this morning was to pick up a load of meat at Tyson in Wallula, WA. Wouldn't you know it, one of the three deliveries we will be making will be to the dreaded Ralph's in Compton, CA. What a way to start out, but together we can do anything, even Ralph's!

Sorry to hear about your mother. My dad passed a few years back, it's never easy.
I can't believe you have been in that home now 5 years. I remember when you bought it. I didn't know what a park model was. Man, time flies. I remember you guys haulin' boats and I thought that was pretty cool. I look forward to your new adventures, enjoy your time 'in the passenger seat.'
