Hi, folks
We're in Laramie, Wyoming tonight, headed back to Indiana, where we can hopefully pick up another load. I've been watching my favorite little animals (antelope) all day. It's been a nice quiet day. Not much has happened. Well, there was one minor incident at a truck stop today. We pulled into the station to fuel up, and it happened to be one of those stations that requires you to prepay before you can pump. Bill went inside and gave the clerk his credit card and then went back to the pump and waited --- and waited --- and waited for the clerk to turn the pump on. Nothing happened, so being the southern gentleman he is, he went back into the store and asked what was wrong. The clerk made the mistake of asking him if he had prepaid. Still being a gentleman, he reminded her that he had given her his credit card. He trudged back outside to the pump and managed to get a little fuel, and it suddenly stopped working. It was hot outside, and my southern gentleman is about to forget what a southern gentleman is. He went back into the station, and I decided the safest place for me and the girls was inside the truck. After a while I began to get uneasy about the whole thing and decided that if he didn't come out of the store in 5 minutes or the police didn't go into the store in 5 minutes that I should probably consider going in to rescue the poor clueless clerk who was about to get her head lopped off clear down to the shoulders. Just as I had managed to brace myself for an inevitable confrontation and exit the truck, out Bill came, looking no worse for the experience. He paid for the gas and decided we didn't need anymore, anyway.
It's bedtime, and we can look forward to a another nice, quiet day tomorrow.
Good night, everybody

Hello: Nice to hear about the animals. Also nice to know there are still southern gentlemen in the world. Bet not many people know that, expecially from the north.
Dan got starated on the floor in my room today. He still hasn't pulled up the entire rug, but he said he is going to start at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow. I am going to camp on the couch until he gets that much done. We have all the materials and supplies we need to finish the inside, hope we will have enough funds to have the outside, (Front and one side) sided. We should, if nothing unforeseen happens.
Winona is still doing pretty good with those shots. They make her a little sick at her stomach, but that should clear up in a few days. Hope so, anyway.
Better go help her make my bed down.
Later,
Sis
Ann: I sent a comment to your blog yesteday and it still hasn't been published. Hope you get this one. The other one told what we are doing to the house and commented on seeing the animals; (I Wish).
Love
