Moving Sucks

That's all I have to say about that!!!!

Goodbye Admiral :( Hello Bennett:)

As you may or may not know we terminated our lease with AMMF and leased on with Bennett Motor Express.

I am sad to be leaving the Admiral organization but excited to start something brand new to me. Already Bennett has proven themselves by providing us with 2 good loads so far. Yesterday we delivered this communication building to NC.

It delivered to a jobsite that Chris was NOT going to bring the truck into so they ended up off loading it in a church parking lot and putting it on another truck.

I'm sure you're wondering if I'm ever coming home and let me tell you I am starting to wonder myself. (We will be home after this trip!!) This morning we loaded at the Port of Savannah, GA and are headed to Henderson (Vegas), NV. This thing is a BEAST!!! It is huge. It is 32' long, 11' wide and 12'7" high and weighs 64,000! I drove it on the trailer this morning... Just kidding! HA! It mades me nervous to stand next to the giant beast!!! ( I will post more pics of the beast when I don't want to kill the computer.)

Look this is what using this computer does to me.


See I am still really alive and it's not just some Laura clone blogging away.

Well that's all folks. I miss you all!!!! Call me!!!!

Sweetwater

This morning I went on a fabulous run. John and Kathi live about a half mile from Sweetwater State Park. I ran down there and it was great! I started out running just on the streets in the park since I wasn't sure what the trails were like. I didn't have a GPS signal at all so I think that helped make the run even more enjoyable since I could not see what my pace or calories burned were. I did decided to venture down one of the nature trails and was pleased to find that the path was wide and easy to run on. I ran about a half mile down to the factory ruins. The factory ruins used to be a yarn and thread mill during the civil war. The Union came and arrested all the workers and set the mill on fire. It was a very cool run. Next time we are in Lithia Springs I will be doing my entire run on the nature trails. I seen another runner on another trail so it must be do-able.

Ok this is for you guys out there who need to see something besides my knitting. Chris took some truck pics yesterday and I think they turned out pretty nice.

Georgia on my mind

Greetings from GA. We've been here all week and keeping busy. Not working but busy none the less. The highlights of my week was getting a pedicure! I have wanted one for awhile but it's not always easy to do things like that with the truck. Kathi and I both got pedicures. She had her toes painted with a French manicure with rhinestones and my toes are painted pink with flowers on the big toes. The big klutz that I am I smudged the one toe already though.

I've been knitting up a storm! I finished my spring socks.

I love them! They knit up suprisingly quick on size 2 needles. I've also been working on a pair of blue socks that are going to be really warm. For some reason I am not very enthusiastic about them but I am slowly getting the done.

Yesterday we went to Why Knot Knit. I was hoping the whole way there that it would be a big store. I was pleasantly surprised by the store. It was in an uptowny part of Atlanta and was in a madeover house. They had a very large selection of all types of yarn. I was hoping that they would have more than cotton yarn and they did. Being that we are in the South cotton yarn is a lot more popular. I had to control myself from going crazy there but I did pick up some things I really needed like the size 6 24" circular needle for what I am calling the cotton candy bag. This is what the bag looks like in the book Bags: a Knitter Dozen

I am not knitting it in those colors. I love those colors and maybe someday I will make that very bag. I am making the bag in with this yarn.

The whole deal with this bag is you are lining up the color to have it pool together like it does in the picture from the book. Well the yarn I picked out for my bag does not have long enough strings of color to have them line up and pool. I still like the way it is turning out.

I also picked up this Blue Sky Alpaca yarn.

It is 100% baby alpaca. It is soft and lovely. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it but I just could not live without it. Blue Sky Alpacas is located in Saint Francis, MN. I traveled to GA to purchase yarn from a MN company. Go figure!

I also picked up another needle I needed for the sweater, a cable needle and the new Interweave knits magazine. I am one happy knitter!!

Today we went over to Chris Grandad and Glinnels house for a visit. Jeanette and her kids, Mickey, Maddy and Tessa also stopped by. Today has been a pretty relaxing day again. We're about to have corn on the cob that was made on the grill and roast from the crockpot. YUM!!

Here we go again...

Ya know I might update this blog more often if the computer or the sprint air card or whatever didn't make me crazy. I had a nice long post for ya'll when something broke and that was the end of that. Once the computer wipes everything out I just don't have it in me to re-type it all out again.

So anywho... Monday we started heading North and stopped in Wildwood, FL and got this done to the doors of the truck...

Pretty cool huh??
