3 States 1 day!

THANKS to Val I now know what I was doing wrong! Now I can SEE the pictures so I know what I am writing about!

Right now we are in a hotel in Kasas City Missouri. I am so very tired! We went through Minnesota,Iowa, and are halfway through Missouri. Tomorrow I will see one of my very best BFFs. Her son is the one I am making the bargello for. I cant wait! I need some Jimmi time.

I had to drive through Minneapolis BY MYSELF. WH had to pick up his truck (which actually is supposed to be skater boys truck someday)and I had to follow. That may seem like no big deal to some but my wonderful WH drives like a bat out of hell. I am so not kidding. I was a puddle of goo by the time we stopped.And royally ticked off......

Thank heavens we parked the truck after we got out of town and then road together. I dont do traffic. call me a wimp,chicken,or anything else you want to but I just dont do it.It took me a month to drive in Minot.A city of 45 thousand.

I did happen to get these pictures. I liked the city but am not in a hurry to drive there again. I think if we want to go to the Mall of America and WH cant go I may spring for Amtrak!

Ahem... I'm pretty sure I told you if you came through KC to let me know. I could have delivered fresh coffee to the hotel for your whole crew ms. thing. ;-) Drive safe!

I'm with you on the driving through the cities. For some reason though I am the one that usually ends up doing it. Scary!! That tunnel picture brings back memories of my daughter and driving around Minneapolis trying to get downtown and missing our turn, ending up going through that tunnel. NOT fun!! But experiences non the less. :)

Need a Good Laugh?

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w

A week or so back I got an email from Jamie who is part of the CSN promotion team asking if I would like to give away a gift to one lucky reader!!! WELL YA! I jumped on it.

Ice Road Truckers and a 20

Year old girl.I hadnt told yall becuse I was living in a state of denial. Its my favorite state actually but that is another story. If you had asked me this weekend where my oldest daughter was I would of told you she was driving with the Ice Road truckers. She really was too. Oldest daughter was driving Pilot truck for an oversized load headed to Prudhoe bay. She drove the haul road. A road not many men will even drive. She said she prayed over many of the passes mainly the Attigun Pass but many of the others too. I had to laugh when she called me from Cold foot to tell me excitedly that she had met a couple of the Ice Road truckers as they are there filming. She was able to see a little of the filming too. On the web page for that t.v. show they make a statement that the road to prudhoe is driven by fearless tough men.Lol. They need to add And one 20 year old girl! I am really proud of her. I am such a powder puff and scared to try anything new. I dont know how I was blessed with her
