December Already?!

Seems last I remember it was October & here it is the 8th of December! Gonna have to quit blinking as seems each time I do,it's later in the year. Did want to get on here after my nice treat the other week. I got to go on a short run with my trucker kids to pick up a load in PA. What was supposed to be a quick trip from here to there ended up being an entire day. I didn't mind as got to spend more time with them & see more of what is involved. My praise goes out to them & to the other truckers,they certainly deserve it!!!! Having to put up with endless paperwork,delayed schedules,lack of communication, unsteady dispatchers,truck repairs,weather, but the worst of all -the MANY,MANY IDIOTS on the roads!!!! They think nothing of cutting right in front of these big monsters & expect THEM to stop on a dime,or being so close to the back they can't be seen. The lack of courtesy & common sense is way too prevalent out on our highways. Granted there are truckers who are just as guilty,but more often it is the nuts behind the wheel of the autos. I can see how much training my two kids had & put into practice all the time & am so very proud of them!!! It was such a great day for me,even having a quick meal cooked in the microwave of their tractor was special because it was shared with them. Yes, I am anxious to be able to go again on a short trip with them if the opportunity ever makes itself available. Was one of the best highlights of my life & I really appreciate them taking me.
