What I hate about driving.
I hate being gone all the time.  Not being there for little events in my grandkids life; graduation from kindergarten, testing for black belt, dancing, or just babysit. I hate not being around to help my kids or even just sit and talk and laugh with them. I hate not being home and able to run over and see my mom and dad on the spur of the moment. I miss petting the dog. I miss not being able to be with family when they are sick. I hate only communicating with family and friends through text or email. I hate being mad at someone and only being able to get 3 feet away.
I hate not eating real meals. Having to run and look for a rest stop. I hate having to grab an extra pair of pants when I run into the rest stop because I already know im not going to make it. I didn’t think I would, but I hate not exercising. Running to the bathroom doesn’t count. All I do is move from the driver’s seat to the sleeper.

What I like about driving.  Paying the bills,
………………..let me get back to you on the rest of that
There, now I feel better.

We got fairly close to the st louis arch this trip.  Well maybe not,maybe its  just a better camera.  Great zoom!!

mexico, from el paso

Driving through new mexico, there is a ton of smoke. Not from a fire here but a fire huge fire in arizona. The smoke was so thick we had to turn our head lights on. For a brief moment I thought we were back in oregon and it was field burning season.

Im adding a picture of will sleeping in the coolness of his excellent working air conditioner. So cold he had to use the blanket and he kept his socks on.  

 Hogging all the coolness by keeping the Curtin closed.  If you detect a hint of sarcasm , you are correct my dear. The air conditioning in the cab is not working. I have been complaining about it for a couple of months (I know it was not summer a couple of months ago, but needed to use it a couple of times. So hush) will said I must have been having a hot flash. Yes that’s what he said.  Now he agrees with me that it isnt working as good as it should.  Duh!! Hot flash, im much too young for that.

Love and miss you all
