We had a few things around the rig to get done and then we called Bonnie and John and told them we were ready for them anytime they wanted to come over. Within the hour they arrived and it was good to see them again.
As soon as we got settled in our chairs outside in the sun Bonnie says to me, "I brought you something" and then handed me a small plastic zipper lock bag. Inside was this....
This was quite a surprise and it is just so pretty!
We spent the day talking about sights to see, where we've been since we saw each other last, their jobs, RV'ing in general and we solved all the world's problems.
About 4-5 hours later we called it a day and John and Bonnie went home and we went in for dinner. We'll see them again for dinner and John and Bob are going to go fishing. I hope it isn't ICE FISHING!
There is something I forgot to write in yesterday's post. We had stopped at truck stop when we were on our way here yesterday and while I was in line I got to talking to a lady trucker. I asked her if the trucker's were going to shut down and she replied, "Yes, we are, and we're getting our ducks in a row right now". She went on to explain that a firm date has not been set as yet because the truckers are putting money away to tide them over while off the road. She also explained that a lot of trucking firms will probably be going under because from the time they contract to ship product and they actually pick it up for delivery the cost of fuel has gone up and they are actually losing money for the shipping. She further explained that she knows a lot of independent truckers who are already off the road because they just can't afford it anymore.
The cost of fuel has us possibly changing our plans with going home to the east coast. We WILL go home but instead of driving the truck and towing the house on wheels and staying for 3 months we may now end up parking the rig and flying home for a month instead. We have to sit down and figure out which way is going to be more economical for us. Right now its all up in the air.
After dinner we settled in to watch American Idol. Tomorrow night the winner will be announced and I'm predicting David will win!
