ENOCH CEMETARY

AUNT EFFIE LIVED 100 YEARS 8 MONTHS

Today we were close to Enoch TX where Randy's dad grew up.  We decided to stop by and visit the gravesites of his family.  While we were there a couple that took care of the cemetary came by.  They knew our family.  His name was Noel Venn.  He knew all about the area.  He showed us where the church use to be by the tree at the back of the cemetary and accross the street in the wooded area was the school.   We passed by the Gilmer courthouse where PaPa said the big Saturday activity was to walk to the courthouse from Enoch and go in the courthouse and flush the toliet and watch the water swirl around. It was a fun stop.  What is also interesting is my mom grew up in Longview Tx which is a neighboring city.  Her maiden name is Shipp we found some Shipps in the cemetary, however they we still living and had bought a plot.

We are off to Dallas area then to Little Rock Ak, then to Modesto Ca.  Hopefully we will be in SLC soon.

MY SUNSHINE

Arny and I recorded the song "You Are My Sunshine" for Christmas for the grand kids. I sing that song to the grandkids all the time.  Brooklyn has it memorised and sung it for me.  Enjoy.  We change the words a bit.  And no I'm not posting my recording of the song.  You're welcome.

EARTHQUAKE

Last night as I was sleeping I was dreaming we were having a earthquake.  I was being thrown all around in the sleeper birth.  Then I woke up and looked around and realised I was in the truck.  We were on a really bumpy road. It was scary it seemed so real.

THANKSGIVING IN MESA

We went to Peter Piper Pizza.  After words everyone came out to see the truck.

We got to spend the  holiday with the family in sunny Mesa AZ.  Loni, Danny and Jaxson came down from Salt Lake City to spend time with us also.  It was a fun time.

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS

Today we are headed to Laredo TX.  We have been driving through some pretty barren land.  One nice thing is that is has been really warm.  We have missed so much of the bad weather so far.  We will make this drop off in Laredo then head to Mesa AZ for Thanksgiving

Randy heard a funny joke from our fellow driver friend Verlynn Dees, "if a man is alone in the forest and there is no woman there to hear what he says is he still wrong?"

DANG!!!!

A police pulled me over just now right in front of this sign. I hope he believes in showing me some grace. My tandems were set to far back for this state.  -Update- Grace will be purchased for $100.  Isn't that saved by works?

Hershey PA

This is a street light in Hershey PA. They line the streets here. It looks like a Hershey Kiss. Some are silver, some are brown.

We made a drop in Harrisburg PA yesterday and got some much needed rest. Our fridge went out, probally from all the bouncing, so we stopped at Home Depot to get a new one. Then we are off to pick up a load at the Hershey plant in Hershey PA and taking it to SC. I love going to the Hershey plant. It smells like you have died and gone to Heaven. I wish they gave the drivers samples ;)! The weather in the east has been so nice. We are really lucky, we have been missing all the bad weather. We just got approved to go to Mesa AZ for Thanksgiving, so we will be able to see the extended family. This will be our first holiday season to be away from our children and their familey's. I will let you know how that goes.

NEW YORK UPDATE

We really wanted to spend some time with Matt's family.  We were shooting for Halloween so we could go "trick-or-treating" with the girls.  We dropped a trailer off in Buffalo and headed to Rochester about 75 miles away.  We got about 35 miles and got a call from the shipper saying that we had forgotten to take our lock off the trailer.  Dang.  We had to drive all the way back and get our lock off, so by the time we did that, we missed going out "trick-or-treating".  We also had some issues with our truck.  The trouble lights have been going off.  So we had the truck in the shop in Rochester.  They fixed the problem and of course found some more. So we stayed the whole week with Matt and Shari.  We had a great time as you can see below......

THE CHILDREN'S MUSUEM

Shari wanted us to go to the children's museum with them. Randy was not excited to go.  Finally Shari said "we are going".  So we went and had a great time.  When we had to leave so Matt could get to class Randy didn't want to leave.  This is definitely something we want to come back to and explore.
