After 2 weeks at home, with lots of conversation, prayer, and lists of pros & cons, Hubs and I made the decision to make another life change. 

Our reset in Charleston, WV, was a pleasant one. With a separate round trip to the edge of Ohio, birthday wishes for me, and slowing to a more restful pace, we were prepared to start another week come Tuesday morning. 

We made our 11am appointment next morning & after strapping down these tall monster pieces for snow plows we were on our way back to Rochester, NY.

Our delivery near Detroit would be dropped off later on one pleasant morning. In the meantime, I had been enjoying some new sights on the way, and managed to get a few pics. Of course, we added to the Scrapbook Of Stadiums! 🏟️ 

One very Late night, driving through torrential rains,  towards Chesterfield, MI, we purchased an overnight parking reservation for the Erie, PA, Pilot/Flying J truck stop which was still several hours away. 

Saying farewell to Beantown, we drove about an hour and a half to get to Newport, Rhode Island. It was later in the afternoon by the time we arrived, so we stayed the night planning to load the next morning. 

Last I wrote, our little rig was sitting idle in Lisbon Falls, Maine, for a couple of days. With further introspection, it was a welcome respite. And one which proved to be an open door to an unexpected delight. Because no great loads were popping up coming or going, we decided we may as well be touring another bucket list item: Boston, Mass. 

Ever so often we are stuck in limbo. It can get a little frustrating waiting on loads when you feel stranded in a town far from home.After our delivery in Lisbon Falls yesterday morning, we waited around town for a bit thinking dispatch would find us a load soon. We utilized that time to refuel and refresh. 

I guess I'm having emotional walks down Memory Lane because I've been posting a lot of pictures of old books I read with the kiddos years ago  (maybe it's the hot flashes! 🥵).  However, when I got to thinking about our jaunt up to Michigan from Elkhart, Indiana, before striking east towards a final destination in Maine, I had all kinds of blueberries on my mind! 

We Love so many things about Chicago!

After being home for a week, we took off to pick up a load in Weatherford, TX, not far from either one of our metroplex daughters. Good thing, too, because we ended up having truck issues (shock!! 😱🤯), and needing a place to land for a few days.
