Not too much going on with us this week. It’s been much sitting around and waiting. From Indianapolis, the company sent us to pick up a load in Warren, Michigan. That’s in the Detroit area. We had plenty of time to get there so we were able to make a stop in Englewood, Ohio and get what should be the last of the mail coming to our address there. Plus we got to check on our belongings all packed away in our storage trailer until who knows when. They seem to be just fine. At the back of that trailer, I had the foresight to pack two big tubs of clothes – winter and summer. That way I don’t have to go digging too deep at the change of seasons to find what I need. To everything else packed in that trailer, there is no rhyme or reason. I'd never find anything if I were to look for it. At least I can find my clothes or grab some different ones for a change.
From Englewood, we headed north up towards Michigan. We were able to have lunch with some family in Toledo. The next day, we stopped at one of my old Lutheran day schools I had attended as a child. Incredibly, we found one of the teachers that was fresh out of college when I was there, still teaching. I attended this school in Monroe from first to fifth grade so it had been many years since I had seen the old place. The cornerstone on the church that is connected to the school said 1968 and I remember clearly being there when it was set into place as the church was being built. So that was a fun trip down memory lane for me.
We had to wait for it but finally our load in Warren was ready and we headed down to Atlanta. We started out at 7pm in Michigan and at exactly 9am we were dropping it at its destination in Georgia. We amaze ourselves sometimes how quickly we move around the country.
Today finds us in Charlotte, NC picking up a load tomorrow morning that will have us over near Austin, Texas on Thursday. Then up to Dallas for some more work on Sunday. It’s hotter than blazes here in North Carolina so I’m sure not looking forward to what I’m sure will be some miserably warm and humid days in Texas. Oh well… at least it’s not snowing!
