On The Road

I don't even know how long it has been seen I blogged and I'm afraid to go look! Months I'm sure. Last week I asked Mom if she would like to ride along and see the color of the leaves. Needless to say she jumped at the chance to get on the truck and travel. Had a load of meat for San Bernardino and a reload in Vernon. Made our delivery on time and went to our pick-up. They are noted for not being very fast so after setting there for a couple of hour I asked Mom if she was hungry. So we headed over to McD's to get something to eat. Came to a stop lite and waited for on coming traffic to turn(our side was red). Was setting their looking at the mural on the side of "Farmer Johns" and turned back and traffic was clear so let the clutch out. THUMP! I didn't realize I had a car under my nose! It was a Saturn and all I did was push her rubber bumper in and it popped back out. She was so mad because as I bumped her the lite changed green and she thought I was being a little impatient!! Three cops , 1 firetruck and a ambulance later I finally got lunch.

Trip back across the mt was about as beautiful as I have every seen. Was home for a day and picked up a load of soda pop and went back over the mt again. I had asked Mom if she wanted to go again and she said" sure why not!". So then we picked up eggs and headed to Oregon City, OR. Had a good trip, unloaded and didn't have to reload till the next day so caught up on sleep and read. I called my brother in Laramie last night and we met and had breakfast together this morning, Georgia and Gayla too! Sue is gone up to GVR cleaning up camp sites and last Tuesday Greg took my p/u back to WVa to his Grandma's funeral so am stranded for the moment.

So mom was on the truck 10 days and covered 5000 miles. She said she enjoyed every mile of it.
