Life...is a Highway. It's All...about 'The Journey'.

Was Flying So Fast....on Thursday...heading back to Des Moines...forgot my laptop...

{Remembered everything else, so...I'll count That...as a Win. ; ) }

Couldn't post, from my phone, on Blogger.

It's been an AMAZING Show!!!

I've Bought, and Sold....

Well.

I, believe...Everyone Has!!

<3

But...tonight, that's not 'The Story'.

It will be in a day, or two.

; )

On my way Home...from Des Moines, this evening...

two hour drive....

on

 The Insane...Interstate 80, hauling Amazing Treasures, with...

to deliver to Friend, Patti...

on my way...

a Van...was flashing his lights at me.

Me and The Ford....were movin' Fast.

; )

We passed The Van...

then...

The Van...passed us, then...backed off.

Then...passed us again.

It was raining, there was no way....I'd pull over on 80.

Knew the load was secure.

but...

when I turned on my right turn signal...to exit 80, it was flashing fast.

That, along with The Van's strange behavior ....spelled TROUBLE.

: (

I pulled over, as soon as I could, at that exit, on the shoulder.

Jumped out of The Ford...to check The Load.

The Load...was fine...

but...

the weld, on the Ford's bumper...had let go.

It was dragging, probably...Putting Quite a Show, on...on 80.

: (

It was raining...that bumper, is heavy.

I looked up, there was a Truck Stop in sight.

I, crippled The Ford in, bumper dragging...

 saw a Ton of people...at the Gas Station, but my eyes zeroed in....

on a Semi, 'Cattle Hauler', and the Truck Driver...cleaning his windows...as he was fueling, in the back.

; )

Pulled The Ford up next to the Semi, and asked The Driver....if he could lend me a hand.

: )

Told him...I used to Drive, and....know 'Truck Drivers'...can Do...Most Anything!

: )

He said...he'd Help...if he could.

<3

{ Knew He Would.}

<3

The Driver's name...is Jim, he's from The Hills, of Virginia.

<3

Jim looked the situation over....and offered to grab one of his straps.

Told Jim...I have Straps, and 'Wire'...but, I needed his hands, to help me put everything in place, to secure that bumper.

; )

We both crawled under The Ford...between the two of us...got everything Up, and Taut.

; )

No Tail Lights.

but...

Nothing Draggin'.

; )

Me, and The Ford...flew, made the delivery...on our route Home.

Grateful...to Pal Steph, and Husband, Marc, who helped unload, and were our 'Tail Lights'...the rest of the way...Home.

<3

'Safe'.

{Steph, even brought me supper...she'd prepared. <3 

Steph said..."Girl, I Know All About 'Show Time'. Insanity." 

Yes...She Does. Hahahahaha!!!}

I'd have given Jim...a Hundred Dollar Bill, for his help...he wouldn't consider it, so...

asked him, if I could give him a Hug.

: )

That...he accepted, and gave me a peck, on the cheek.

; )

May God Bless...Jim, and All...of The Wonderful Truckers.

They...are Amazing People.

<3 <3 <3 

With The Ford...Down, 

Helper, Brandon, and I...will have to squeeze...Everything into The FUSO, at the end of Junk Jubilee, tomorrow night.

SO Grateful...for Amazing Sales.

<3

Should be a light Load....coming Home.

Love to Ya...

Prayers, for All.
