Week of March 22-March 28


We left Keensaw GA Monday morning and headed to Norcross to p/u a load headed up to Chatanooga. Then from there we went to Huntsville AL to p/u a load going near Kileen TX. While in Huntsville we had the time to tour the space center where kids go to space camp.


Somehow between Friday night and Sunday noon when we puled out of the yard we managed to get all 10 loads of laundry done...yea I hadn't done laundry for 3 weeks....we kept thinking we would get to the yard or home......there are 3 washers and dryers that Mercer provides for us to do our laundry for free. This saved my roughtly $40 in laundry fees at the truck stops. We got to our destination Sunday evening and it was a nice quiet facility at Keensaw GA. I fixed supper and we ate outside and Gracie enjoyed the freedom.


While we were waiting for a free van to be avaliable for us all to go out to eat one of the drivers took some time to do a little maintenace. We still are not sure how many Mercer drivers it takes to change a light but the job got done. Then next shot is of us waiting outside Logans steakhouse waiting for a table for 12.


Tommie and Jim and then Lynn and Me.....

This is a pic of Tommie and I in front of an old International pick up. His Dad had one about the same age when Tommie was a small boy........

OK I am going to try to finish up the week of March 16-21. Sat we went to the truck show. We stayed at the Mercer lot and Mercer provides shuttle transportation for us back and forth. Tommie and Jim came back and walked the dogs and Lynn and I stayed and looked at trucks......its a girl thing lol
