Background
A continuing adventure of our travels on the road.

Okay, once again we are on the road. Oh, sorry for the picture change, I couldn't resist, lol. We still have the big red truck with yellow flames which is actually a converted semi, so really big. We still have our 44 foot home on wheels and of course our daily driver-the smart car.

Jim's last assignment was the second week of December. He had to take the company truck and go from Indiana to Denver, Colorado to help with a project that got behind. He was gone a week and a half, thankfully he took the company truck from Chicago and they paid for his hotel stay while there.

He called whenever he had chance to-a total of 85 times, early morning, when it snowed which was all day while he worked, lunch-I think he got tired of making his lunch or rather cooking for himself lol and in the evening at least three times. And here I thought I was going to get a break when I stayed in Indiana. Not likely.

Now we are off to North Carolina, somewhere near Greensboro. When we lived here it was near Greensville NC, so this is somewhat new to me. The best I got was when I went home to Canada which meant getting on I-95 and going north.

So here we are. In the middle of nowhere. I think the closest town which has a grocery store is about five miles away if I was a crow and could fly, but I have to drive so it's a twist and a turn a few times to get there. I do believe we have to go about ten miles. Hey they have a couple of restaurants, a beautiful Christmas tree, a post office and a bank. Oh they also have two gas stations. Amazing, everything I need.

The unfortunate part is that Jim has to use the smart car for work, so my day is spent by myself at the campground with the other working campers, the owners, their horse whom I can once a week feed carrots to. This means I can catch up on my writing. Look out world.

Ahaaa, now when I go grocery shopping, dear old Jim has to come along. I can drive the big rig but we had to take an important part in to have it repaired, the drive was an hour away, then we have to go back to pick up the part. So for now the truck doesn't work.

I honestly like the isolation, it is a wonderful quiet time for me. I can enjoy the peace and quiet for about a month and a half then back to Indiana until April when we head to Bismarck, North Dakota.

Until the next adventure.
