In New Jersey now....yup our favorite place! We got a call the other day that they want to take Dorothy away from us and giveus a new truck with less miles. I guess most people would be excited about this, but this is our first truck...it's like your first love. No other truck will ever be any better or faster than our first truck, but what are you gonna do?? So we are sitting in a hotel, which has been fantastic by the way, while they get our new truck ready to roll.
The new truck number is 1938...haven't named her yet, that will take some bonding time. As soon as we get going again and have some bonding time I will post new pics of the new girl. It's still a Volvo and it's still red, so most of you probably won't even know the difference. This becomes your home and when things are different it makes it difficult when you have everything in it's place and get used to what a truck does and doesn't do. But we are up for the challenge and welcome the new truck into our world. We have put 140,000 miles on Dorothy since we started driving her in January of this year. She is up to 735,00 miles now, so she will be going to a solo driver that will not put as many miles on her. She will truly be missed :o (
Finally got to Memphis, TN while it was light out! What a cool looking city. Between here and Nashville I think Jeff and I will be taking some time to check out Tennessee sometime soon. Every time we have stopped anywhere in this state everybody has been so nice and friendly not to mention how we could just listen to them talk all day with those southern accents.
Time for me to relax in a bathtub and then lay down on a nice king-size bed for the night. It's been a good break and it is always nice to get a good night's sleep while the truck isn't moving.
