Oddities in Olean

In Olean New York there are 25, four foot tall fiberglass squirrels. You can check out the squirrel pages on the city's website (see our links page) for Nutty O'St. Nick, Florence Squirrelingale, RN and more

Who knew?

When you think of New York you think of the city...at least I do. Who knew the state of New York was so beautiful?! I apopogize for my short sightedness! I have fallen in love with the green rolling hills of the Liberty State (sorry) Empire State and who knew they grew grapes on the northern border of New York and Pennsylvania? The people of Massachusetts and New Hampshire are very nice and extremely curteous. I definately look forward to exploring the northeast a lot more!

A gift from a friend....bobblehead Jesus.....what truck would be complete without one? Amen! LOL Yeah it worked! I can post pics now!!!!!!!

Super secret delivery!

We dropped off a load this morning that was tracked from pick up to drop off and we had to spend the night at a safe haven so the load remained secure. While it didn't seem like a big deal to us there are a lot of things out there that are important to other people! We're off to Cleveland this afternoon!

Busy!

Been busy this first week! Runs from Michigan to the Carolina's back up to Illinois and Iowa then back to Michigan. Got to ride through Trenton, the old homestead. Not much changed but its a lot more industrialized. No real down time yet, taking advantage of making money, fun will have to wait! Will post pics as soon as I figure out how to do it from my phone! On the road again.......

Success!

We have completed our first run as husband and wife team! I won't say anything about the fact that I took graveyard shift my first time out, or drove through the foggy mountains, passed through my first toll gates (they really need to make those wider), got stopped at my first weight station or went through my first mountain tunnels all while my busband was asleep! But never fear he does back seat driving just fine from the sleeper!

Greensboro NC is very pretty and hot! I can't wait to see where we go next!

Wating on a load!

Had a great send off yesterday from my friends at work, good food, laughs and tears. I will miss them but look forward to getting our first load. I'm all approved and "in the truck" so it's just a matter of time before something comes in and the big wheels are rolling! Thanks again...Love you guys!

On another note... we set expectations for ourselves and we move forward to make the expectations a reality. We have a picture in our mind of how things will be, but it's funny how reality has a way of being nothing like our expectations! So instead of going insane we adapt and we learn to go with the flow (of course some of us are better at this than others).  We need patients and we need to learn appreciation for the things that are, not get caught up in the regrets of how we wish things were. (HA! When did I become so...philosophical?)
