Phewwwwwwww! Have looked high and low for that DVD. Yes, it is a Netflix one, but they don't charge extra no matter how long you keep it. No Problem - I'll get it at Christmas time! Speaking of which -- Ellen and I vote to have Christmas at your house!!
It's cold here today. We'll probably have a fire in the fireplace tonite. Dad is still working in woodshop, I'm painting and playing on the computer. Soooooooo, with all the gizmos you have in that truck, can't you plug in an electric blanket?
Nothing much going on here - will write more later.
Glad to see you here, Marianne! Love hearing about Christian.
Love to all
Mom

Hello from somewhere near Chicago IL
We are waiting to be unloaded at this place-us paper- right next to the Tribune!
Thanks for posting Marianne. I still need to go to the gift exchange thing...not sure of what to do there.
....Mom -Mark got out the little tv..with dvd...we have "flags of our fathers" I hope it is not a net flick. We will return it .....when we can.
Usexpress better send us closer to home if we are to arrive there by 6pm on friday.......we will see. Mark has to get his DL renewed and has to take the vision test - so we need to get home soon. I also put in a request for Thanksgiving..don't know if we will get it. Anyway when we get home I will buy a turkey .....and trimmings and Zsuzsi and Michael can cook it.
The truck does stay running ...except when we are fueling...so we have power -heat and air conditioning-most trucks do stay running.Some truck stops have- called idleaire- there is a snorkle devise that attaches to the window - has heat/air, phone, tv, and internet-but usexpress doesn't pay for it - and neither are we. They have already disappointed us.....week before last only got 1600 miles, cause Marks dispatcher gave him crappy runs- took all day to unload/load with very few miles. This week I think we got about 2900--and we did the $trees with all of the unloading...that kicked our asses.
I have taken several pictures from the passengers seat... I see the one that came out the worst is the only one posted...Ellen did you get any other pictures from me? I will have to resend them if not.
Anyway... went through the mountains..nc/tn...I think I'm glad it was nighttime and I could'nt see out the window...cause it was very scary..you can also tell an experienced driver vs. new drivers...the one ahead of us was going really really slow...and there were about 100 trucks behind us..2 lanes only...left lane was for cars only...one trucker used it to pass ..the truck ahead of us. the one ahead had to pull over to -the emergency pull over.
Indiana ...is a pretty boring state..flat and not much to see from the interstate..I like PA, WV, OH, TN so far..from the interstate ..NC,SC,GA and VA are boring..both sides have trees and you can't see anything.
I will say by for now ..gonna play a game of litterati.. my score is down in the 1800's now, from losing my connections.
Lots of Love to everyone

Hey There
Hey Everyone! Hope all is well. Anyways... thought I would finally post something. This is a neat idea for keeping in touch.
James and I took Christian to Busch Gardens on Saturday for HollowScream, we had a great time and turned out to be a nice day, weather wise. Christian won a huge stuffed dog!!
Mom-USAA is the same. Although know I can write Homeowner's Insurance it seems to be more interesting, at least the pay is better. One of these days I will go to College, when I find out what I want to do....
Well, tomorrow is Halloween and I think Christian is going to be a little Redskin Football player. I know...can't believe it's not the Steelers, the funniest thing is that Christian loves the Redskins and does not really care for the Steelers. Christian is also going to the Dentist for his cleaning tomorrow, hopefully everything will go OK.
It is getting late and still have lots to do... will post again soon. Love You All. Take Care Everyone!

hi from fredburg
Hi
I hope the gift exchange website will work. Perhaps in the meantime,sizes and info about our littlest Weber/Aldens - Jaida andChristian... will be posted? I know I would like to buy gifts for everyone and I see things all the time that would be great.....but....who can afford it?
We had an estimate done this weekend for a screened porch to replace the rotting kitchen porch. It would be nice to have -- but we'll have to wait and see if we can really do it.
Kaiti was up this weekend (she is home a lot). I didn't see her much, so she seems in better health. She is looking at other colleges to transfer to next year since Randolph is dropping so many of her fave classes. I think she will find her passion at many schools -- right now political journalism is an awesome choice for her. Mark's ferret lives with us now (hello Michael andZsuzsi -- another ferret baby???) and she is so funny, but I worry with 10 --- TEN --- cats chasing her around.
I saw Queen Eliz. movie over the weekend. It was good - romance for women, and action/violence for the men. Not entirely historically accurate...but go see it anyway.
I had a former collegue die this week from cancer so I'll be attending services for that. Sad to see people so young suffer so much. I am exhausted even though it's only Monday....when do the clocks turn back???????????????/

Hey everyone! Happy to see Szuszi posting here! Sent Shannon and Bobby the link so hope they'll be posting soon, Marianne too.
It got pretty cold here last night and is supposed to be colder yet again tonight. Jane - how do you keep warm in the truck when the weather is this cold? And don't tell me you leave the engine running - I'll never be able to go to sleep with worrying!
Dad is making a dry sink for Shannon and Bobby's restaurant - it looks pretty good so far. I am painting a welcome sign, too - . When we get it all done we'll take a spin up to see the new restaurant. Something to look forward to.
Jane - you have not signed up for the Christmas gift exchange, nor any of the Norge's. If you don't have the link ask Ellen to send it to you.
Fritz is fine as is Sandy. Fritz has decided that all carpets and dust ruffles should have yellow polka dots! I scrub and scrub, strip beds, etc., but he is very persistent. He's so little I can't tell when he is lifting his leg!
Okay - back to my painting.
Love to all,
Mom
