Poor Tigers....

Here we are....Michiganians delivering Texas Ranger apparel to Dicks Sporting Goods! Bad karma......

Gotta love Texas!

First there was Toe Jam Trucking......now we have funny repairmen!


My friends the cows....

These are still the best billboards in the county! Although I saw a billboard with a real live waterfall in Dallas that was pretty cool!

Enjoying Saturday!

Kitty says....goooo Blue!


Rachel Ray would be proud!

No bake oatmeal cookies made in the sleeper of a 40' straight truck! You can do anything if you set your mind to it! Not sure how they taste yet but they do look good!
(All while watching South Carolina vs Mississippi on the 17")...life's good!

Here's the list so far!

These are in no particular order and I hope I spell them correctly! I've been to the following states in my two short months as a truck driver.....

Alabama (Great state! Go Bama! Roll Tide!)
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Connecticut (Friendly Drivers!)
Delaware
Georgia
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana (Another great state!)
Maryland (Would like to see it in the daytime!)
Massachusetts
Michigan
Mississippi (Gotta love the south!)
Missouri
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire (very nice people!)
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York (absolutely beautiful)
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
South Carolina (Love those Cherry Cokes!)
Tennessee (Dennis wants to live there)
Texas
Utah
Virginia (Beautiful State)
West Virginia (This one too!)
Wisconsin
Wyoming (want to spend more time here!)
and Washington DC if you count them!

Here's my picks....At heart I am definately a Northeast kinda girl!  The Appalachian Mountain Range is my favorite with the Blue Ridge Mountains topping the list. Now being a northern girl I dislike the heat but I love the south! Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama get my vote (Go Bama!). They take football serious down there so be careful what you tie to your purse (depending on the state!) I thought I would miss the colors changing in Michigan, and I do, but I get to see the entire country change colors, what could be better?

I still have 12 states to go (not counting Alaska and Hawaii), so the verdict about the best place is still out!

Charlotte SC - Flying J

Store # 714 in Rock Hill SC deserves a spot in my blog. Truck stops are nasty places because peope are generally pigs! I've often told Dennis that I have a hard time understanding why a truck stop would put out a garbage can and then leave it to overflow with garbage. While truckers are a large part to blame, the truck stops are too....but not Rock Hill.  The staff is fast, efficient and I even saw the Manager sweeping the parking lot! The employees of that truck stop actually work and very hard! If you are ever in the Charlotte area it's an excellent place to stay!

Cows

These are some of the funniest billboards on our highways! Haven't eaten there yet but their billboard are hysterical!




Traveling Around

Im finally get to learn how to do this. (Dennis) As we travel we take alot of pictures through our droid boinic phone. It takes good pictures. But at night its a pain. So we were going to Alabama. So a called up a ole army buddy. We got together for a few hours.  It was great. Talking about the good days and about desert storm. Alot of memories resurfaced. Then we sat for couple of days. Played some modern warfare on xbox 360. With my nephew in nevada and friends at home. Got load offer to Tennessee. Seen a sign for the Jack Daniels plant. 2 people first came to mind my brother Doug and brother in law Justin. Made delivery so we are sitting at pilot at Lebanon. Tennessee . Waiting. Waiting and Waiting ...lol.
