I got up thinking it’s fine, time to move on. Me, especially the morning process is very busy. I had yogurt and fruit for breakfast. I do the inside. I have to make sure that in the pantry nothing will spill. I have rods in front of the baskets that hold the food. After doing this for years you get a feel where the trouble is located. A can too high. or a bottle in front or a bag of pasta that needs protection has To be protected.

Then the frig, short things are put in the back, it is a process. I have bars for that too. Then I have a screw with a plate that holds the frig from opening during travel, thats new.

But, then nothing on the floor or on any counter. That takes skill to figure where it all goes. But, I’ve been doing this for what 40 or more years! Oh my goodness that makes me old.

Then i help guide the truck back, to hitch on the trailer, been doing that forever. I sometimes miss my cats. I see them and wonder how they are. We finally finished and are on the road by noon. We drove for 61/2 hrs. Wow, that’s a lot. I’m tired and El must be exhausted.

We stopped 3x for gas. I got my large coffee at the first pilot stop. They make good coffee. The cup is 24 Oz. Yup I’m done. We stopped at this one place and got a gigantic hot dog in like a pizza wrap. They cut it in half and I found mustard packets. It was pretty good!

I tried to finish my book, I also read a Smithsonian Magazine. That had an interesting article. One about the first auto workers strike for a union with benefits. The history was Interesting to read.

W e finally pulled in around 6ish. We are not unhooking. But, there was a problem with the water connection. He found help. By the time we we were done it was nearly 9pm. I had my last China town bun with meat. He had soup.

That was our day. I’m so happy you came by to read my blog. It’s not so exciting but it’s mine, and my heart goes out to you for taking the time to read it, luv you

enjoy your summer!
