Jasper,
sorry to hear about the cancellation. We have been at the Petro in El Paso since Monday morning. figured we would stay there tomorrow also. But we just got a load that takes us to Edwardsville, Il. Carrier. The company we are delivering to is closed tomorrow and Fri. So we are supposed to deliver on Sat morn.
Carrier told us to go ahead and drive home and they will pay dead head from home to Edwardsvfille, Il. We live in Delta, OH. So we may make it there late tomorrow night.
I see you are from Jasper Mi. We lived on the OH - Mi line for 15 years in Lyons. So Jasper was my back yard. We moved to Delta a year ago last month. So we are neighbors.
Happy Thanksgiving.
When I texted my kids to tell them we wouldn't be home for Thanksgiving my daughter's reply was, Awe Schucks mom, but just be greatful you will be with Dad.
I tell you this because there is always something to be greatful. My 8 kids are grown and this is the first time we aren't home for the holiday but we are together and enjoying this career of ours.
My other daughter is pregnant and due today. This is her first child so who knows when the baby will decide to arrive. But I am also thankful that i will be closer to be able to get there when she goes to the hospital to bring my new grand daughter into this world.
We have 5 grandkids anad this one makes 6. Haven't missed a birth yet. Hopefully I will be there on time.
God Bless Everyone!
