Quick update

I can’t believe I’ve been gone this long! I have been here and there, but most of the time without an Internet connection so writing has been a bit hard for me. Anyone know of a good wireless provider?
So far things are going well. I have been as far west as Wyoming and south to Nebraska, but they seem to keep me pretty close to home, just very busy running every which way. I have saw a lot of different things on my travels and I am keeping a diary. One thing that really sticks in my mind is that I had another semi truck flip over do to heavy winds right in front of me, making my stomach flip like nobodies business a few weeks ago. But the most enjoyable has been all the wonderful animals I have saw– a lot of deer, antelope, fox, and a coyote. Oh, and i almost hit 3 cows at 3 o’clock in the morning last week while in North Dakota! Talk about a way to wake a person right up! No coffee can do that!
On the home front things have been different to say the least. Husband has not been happy that I have been gone, and it has put a strain on us to say the least. BUT, he is helping out around the house like he has NEVER done before. Washing clothes and putting them away, scrubbing the floors, vacuuming, and taking care of the animals… I should bite my tongue here but I am having a hard time with it all because he NEVER did this before and it seems so foreign and maybe a bit fake…But I will take all the help I can get, no matter what the reason!
So, I have been trying to keep up with everyone out there in the blog world. I hope everyone is doing well! We tilled the garden yesterday in hopes of planting taters today but the wind has kept us out of the dirt for now.
Take care for now!
So glad you are back. I think of you every time I see a red or orange semi! And I am sorry about your hubby - but maybe he’s trying???? Hard to say, since guys don’t let you read their minds very well.
Try Verizon for a server. It’s expensive, I think, as you purchase a card and pay a monthly service, BUT — I have seen for myself how great it is!!! Son-in-law Ken has one - he can get internet service as he is driving down the road. I think Verizon can be gotten anywhere! You could (please don’t) have your computer next to you in the truck and check your email as you are driving!!! Assuming you have a laptop, of course! He has a plugin for the cigarette lighter to keep the laptop charged up. I’ve seen it working when all of us went on a road trip last year in Florida and Joy kept looking for a motel or places to visit while we were driving!
Blessings - good luck with your potatoes.
hey there! glad you made it back in one piece. how are your animals?
the wind has been keeping me from doing the gardening i was hoping to do as well…grrrrrr.
cheers!
