Up at 6:45 and heading back to Texas.   Greg is glad to get back to warmer weather.

We passed an awful truck fire on our way through Dallas.  

Made it to our drop on time.  Fortunately we didn’t have to wait for them to unload it.  Just drop it and get empty trailer.  

Our next load came in that we would go to Iowa Park, Texas and pick up load to take to Mexico.   What?   We don’t have passports.   Next email came through that we are to take it to Laredo Texas and someone else would take it across to Mexico.   Good!  

We passed a train on the way.  It had pieces of those silly windmills for as far as the eye could see.   Dozens of pieces.  

  
We get to the pick up place in Iowa Park only to find out that load won’t be ready until about noon tomorrow.   Well shoot.   So we decide to get out of the truck a while and go to a motel.  There are several in Witchita Falls, Texas which is only about 10 miles away.   I don’t know what’s going on around here but there are about 12 motels right here alone and the line was 8 deep when I went in the office to sign in.  Thank goodness I had called and reserved a room.   

We walked across the street to whataburger for dinner.  Greg had a burger but I had the chicken taco with poblano peppers and unions.  Yummy! 

Back to room to take a shower and watch some TV.   Feels good to be able to stretch a bit. 

Gregory sent me pictures today of the girls making cupcakes.  It’s so funny to see how different they are.  Sadie spreads her icing out but Maddi just globs it on there.  Too funny.  

DG:  I’ll bet they taste good. Such artists. 

Well, we are in a motel. It’s a luxury we afford ourselves from time to time. 

Here’s where I am torn between wanting to get on the road as soon as possible to rack up more miles and sleeping in, taking our time to get to Laredo. Load is not due until Monday but we could get there tomorrow.  I already sent a note to dispatch to let them know I will be ready for a new trip as soon as I get there so have me something ready. 

Oh, I can’t fight it any more. The bed is calling my name. Good night and God bless.
