On the Road

We have this handy dandy gadget that plugs into our laptop that picks up cell reception and lets us use the internet on the go. I am so enthralled by this that it borders on obsession. So I am going to be a major doofus and write while we cruise on down the road. We are heading back to our wonderful ranchland tonight. So much later than we planned due to a major mess up at the bank and a much needed chat with friends. M & S spent the day with aforementioned friends hiking to a settlers cabin and learning all about how the pioneers lived. It sounds like they had a blast AND were able to learn quite a bit. Plus, it wore them out so that they promptly fell asleep in the truck. Sleeping kids can make a long nighttime road trip go so much smoother. We are driving my parents' truck hauling a trailer with Hubbys' truck on it, both of which are loaded with a combination of bikes, troughs, a rabbit hutch, an a/c unit and a screen door. The random things that were left behind when we moved. Sister was kind enough to store them at her house. This load is making a long trip even longer. And poor Hubby has to be heading out to work by six-thirty a.m.. It is eleven o'clock now and we still have a good two and a half hours left on the road. That's when sleeping kids are not so good. They will get their full nights' rest and be ready to run tomorrow, while Hubby and I will be seriously dragging. Oh well.
