We're home. Life at home is completely different from life on the truck. It takes me awhile to make the transition from one life to the other.
Friday I went to get my eyes checked and the chiropractor. Jim unloaded the frozen food. Sabbath I slept until 1:30 and Sunday until 11:30. Now I'm almost ready to get busy again.
Monday we had a meeting with two of our bosses. They are pleased with our work. We have now almost doubled the sales from when we first started. Next year won't be quite as good that way, as we won't be going to North and South Dakota and Minnesota. As with most things, that's both good and bad. Bad because our sales will be down. And good because we are on the road too long at a time. A couple weeks shorter will be better.
Next week we will be going to Kansas for a couple weeks to celebrate Christmas with our family. I have two sisters, one brother, two children and three grandchildren in Kansas and Missouri. Jeff and his daughter will also be going at the same time. I will also go to a couple meetings to work on the Enterprise Academy Alumni. I know that the trip will fly by too fast.
So, this trip is over. But we are going again next year. So if you would like to follow our trip, you can go to TravelAdventures11@Blogspot.com. Until then, happy holidays and may God be with you.

November 17 Idaho Falls, ID
We had a noon sale in Pocatello, ID. One lady was really neat. She has been saving her money all year to spend in the bookmobile. She had $100.00. She bought sharing books and pamplets, mostly priced between .49 to .99. She spent $100.01. It took her a full hour to make her selections. When I first ran her up, her total was around $95. She had $100. and she was going to spend $100. and she did!!! I like shoppers like that! I pray that God will bless every thing she shares and her for her love of her neighbors.
We did our next sale here in Idaho Falls. We had a nice turn out.
24 hours from now, we'll be home! Yes, I'm getting anxious. Home is nice!!!

November 16 Odgen, UT
Ten states finished, one to go and it only has three sales. It's been a long three months, full of memories and blessings. The Lord has protected us in so many ways.

November 15 Salt Lake City, UT
I was right. We drove all day. I only got a roll and orange juice for breakfast, so supper was a long time coming.
We had to hurry to get to the cold storage before 4:00, so we could get the rest of the canned food out. We made it with time to spare. We just stuffed it in the trailer, then had to put it away later. Jim worked until after 10:00 doing that, after we feed our faces.

November 14 St George, UT
For some reason, the people from our sale today (12-1:30) thought it was from 10-12:00. We were a half hour early, but most of them quit waiting by then. We had a very small sale. The devil works hard to discourage us, but it doesn't work. God is still in control.
We started our journey back north. We stopped at St George, because we hadn't had lunch yet and it was 5:00. Then there was the time change and it was majically an hour later. And (drum roll....) we're too old to drive after dark. Especially when we still don't feel well.
Tomorrow will be a big day of driving, around 300 miles, plus work.

November 13 Las Vegas, NV
We stayed in our room most of the day. We just don't feel good, so much coughing. I was up half the night coughing. I think we're so worn down from being on the road three months , that our resistance is super low.
We did walk out in the sunshine and fresh air about a half hour this afternoon. I'm sure that was good for us.
Our evening sale was at the Spanish Church. We had a nice group.
Only FIVE more sales and FIVE days from now, we'll be home. Hard to believe and harder to wait!

November 12 Las Vegas, NV
We drove back to Vegas. The trip was Bad. My cold has really settled in my ears. When we came down the mountain, both my ears got plugged. I couldn't unplug them no matter what I did. We even stopped and bought some chewing gum. That didn't help at all. It was a couple hours before I could hear again. It was so bad that I couldn't even hear the truck. Now that's bad!
We went across the street from our motel to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. There's just not many choices around here.
