Greetings from Alabama

Tuesday 16th October:
Well I'm back on the truck! hehe Pat came home for the night last night because he had a load that delivered near the yard but wasn't due to be delivered until 6pm tonight, and I decided to go back on the road with him.

Sunday 21st October:
Its been quite the week, roaming around all over the place. We've been to Arkansas, back to Wisconsin, and we're sitting in Alabama, waiting to deliver tomorrow at 3 places. We'll either be sent over to Texas, or back up towards Wisconsin.

Things have been good on the truck, though we didn't have a wonderful dinner tonight (the buffet wasn't the best, though on the bright side I got a pretty big helping of salad because it was edible). For the most part we have dinner's at truck stops (though we have bread and sandwich supplies on hand should we not make it to a truck stop or have to park for a few hours at a customers). We have discovered a few really good places to eat so thats a bonus.

My favourite place to eat however we can't take a truck so I just have to wait until we get to Texarkana so we can borrow the car and go there. The name of this awesome restaurant? Its called "The Cracker Barrel". Its gimmick is that its "old fashion" cooking, and boy is it good. I swear that they have grandma's in the kitchen back there keeping a good eye on the chef's. They also have a store out front where you can buy things like old fashion candy/chocolate (including hershey's chocolate in old style wrappers), and cool stuff like that. They also sell clothes, candles, books... and a bunch of other stuff, but the food really is delicious.

We'll be back at the house this coming weekend, as we're throwing a Halloween party. I'm really looking forward to it, we've invited a couple of people over for dinner so it should be good. Some of us are dressing up, and yeah I might post photo's, if I remember to take some hehe.

Well i'd better go and post this. I'll write again in a couple of days.
