Got this update from Mama a couple of days ago - sorry for the delay in posting it!
It's Easter morning, and we are midway thru our 3rd trip out since leaving home Wed.
Boy was that an adventure! Just getting out of the drive at the farm took over 2 hours since we got stuck getting from the drive into the road. There was too much of a hump, and we got the landing gear hung. My dad tried to pull us off with the tractor, but we ended up needing a wrecker. This made us late getting our 1st load picked up in Rocky Mount, NC and delivered to King of Prussia, PA.
Next, we drove about 45 miles to Allentown, PA and picked up a load going to Norcross, GA. We got to both of those early. Then drove about 50 or so miles to find a parking place to wait until time to get the next load from Cumming, GA. It is going to Chicago, IL for a 3pm Monday delivery, and the notes on the order say they will not take it early so we have lots of extra time.
That being the case, we drove into the edge of Kentucky yesterday evening and stopped for the night in Franklin, KY. We just microwaved canned food for dinner, corn, peas, and corned beef and cheese - - it wasn't too bad and cheap! We went in for breakfast this morning at the Flying J where we stayed.
We are going to head on closer to Chicago today and find another truck stop to hang out in until time to deliver this load tomorrow. We will try to take and send pictures of the truck soon.
Lots of love mama and daddy. HAPPY EASTER to all!!!!!
