A special HOWDY goes out to "Getyermotorunning"! As I passed him in the rest area, he hopped on the interstate, and rode up beside us for a minute. Then he held up a handmade cardboard sign on a stick that said HI STEVE & TK. Very cool bud, you put a big 'ol smile on my face! Thanks! :):)

Ok, sitting here doing paperwork, getting my delivered trip paperwork together and mailed off so I can get paid. Also, I am starving! May be my last chance to eat something good for awhile! LOL

We will hit the road in an hour give or take.

Frog legs for Steve, Steak for TK!

I almost had Steve lined up for a spanking right after his welcome home hug, too, when I read that! But we must remember his dental is supposed to be very painful & he will likely eat soup. HOWEVER, my soups are really good, too, Stephen! ha ha --Texas Lady

ualady said...

Stephen...better eat good tonight... tomorrow it's soup!

Anonymous said...

I don't think Steve is talking about his Mom's food, but rather about dental surgery! Sounds like a periodontic visit to me....not fun!

Steve, you missed my question yesterday about TK. She looks like a Maine Coon and if she is, she can weigh 20 to 25 lbs by the time she is 5 yrs. old. How much does she weigh?

Good luck with the dental visit..

BigRigSteve said...

sorry.... last year, she was 7 pounds. Best guess now? 10 or maybe more. She is growing into a FAT PIG! And her lungs are growing bigger too when she hollars at me!

ualady said...

Well don't do anything to make her holler! Fat pig my foot - she looks like she has more fur than anything.

Peggy said...

Leave her babies alone and she won't hollar so much.

BigRigSteve said...

she has more fur than brains, that is for sure! And she keeps leaving her fur all over the truck! I'll fill ya in later what she does if I try to pick her fur up and toss it out the window!

oh, and I still owe ya some of my experiments with photography......tonight I will try and play catchup for ya'll.

ualady said...

BRS - you have it all wrong! Believe me TK has more brains than fur. You do what she wants don't you?

Peggy said...

Yep I agree. They know how to get what they want when they want it. At least my spoiled one does.

Ann - I think BRS is feeling his oats since he is so close to home and he was pulling Texas Lady's chain.

ualady said...

The Duke Of Earl. said...

I saw you again. Do you have GPS on computer that moves the yellow pin on the map? Wave back........

Anonymous said...

ualady said...

Ok BRS - would you please video a wave with TK for us that seem to walk away from the computer at the most inopportune time?

Peggy said...

Good afternoon Vicky

You're a lady with _CLOUT_!!!

Steve, TK gonna be losing more fur. 81 F in Austin. You both were cold just a few days ago.

ualady said...

Tammy - you're funny!!! I have no more clout than any of you. TK is the one with clout.

ualady said...

besides i've already thrown his steak and harley shirt out of the window! think any clout i had is gone.

*lol*

Not hardly... You just hang in there... I have faith in you...

ualady said...

I've only see a wave twice! But one had TK in it. Now that would have been a good one to video.

Though I was lucky to see motorunnin wave as he passed BRS on his Harley. Wonder what eveyone on the road thought?

Anonymous said...

Texas Lady, BRS has strong wind warning, all the way to your area. Southerly 20 to 25 MPH with gusts to near 35. I'm just letting you know so you can give him a heads up if he is not aware. Not to worry his Mama.

ualady said...

Cars get out of the way! Clear the way! TK and BRS are homeward bound.

TK gets to play in a real house tonight!!

Steve just called. He said traffic on I-35 is worse than he's seen in Chicago. Today is last day of college Spring break. Tough out there. TKs asleep.
Supper is fajitas, guacamole, tortilla soup, browned onions, & fresh tortillas, with a choice of iced tea or limeade.getyurmotorunnin
TWO big rigs pulling in today. A relative who driving the country is stopping by in his looong RV.
Gotta get busy in the kitchen! -- Texas Lady --computer messed up with my name, Steve will fix it!)

Peggy said...

Oh my!! How fast can we get there from Ohio. Dinner sound wonderful.

Don't know about elsewhere, but in Austin, they have fancied up the sides of the cement overpasses with big ol Texas stars.

ualady said...

BRS - my Dad has been watching on and off all afternoon. He was an OTR driver before I was born. He wanted to know if you see many state troopers and if you speak spanish.

That's one big Texas sky!

Hmmmm, wonder if all these cars are headed to Texas Lady's for dinner.

ualady said...

Is that truck trying to hit BRS?

Anonymous said...

What the heck is that truck doing. Why does he keep slamming on his brakes?

Anonymous said...

Crazy looking.

BigRigSteve said...

Not sure exactly what is going on there. LOL

pboutwell said...

He's probably sliding his tandems, to redistribute his trailer weight. Ask Steve.

Well, whatever he is doing.. Take Cover Steve and TK!!
