Surprise From Lynn On The Road

Hi! From Wyoming!!!! We have been doing A LOT Of driving the past two days... CALIF...Nevada...Utah...and today, Wyoming. We are enjoying the wide open spaces of America. Summer traffic is nil. Nada, none. Except for one 45 minute hold up when we found ourselves stopped dead in our tracks for 45 minutes surrounded by cars and huge trucks in front and behind us as far as the eye could see. We saw once traffic started up again that a huge semi had caught fire and the entire rear of it that carries the goods was melted metal. Firemen had put it out. And fortunately we could see the driver in the cab of the truck separated from his load safe and on his cell phone. Calling his boss, or wife with excuses for being late? We have visited one fossil museum and one Mountain Man museum today. DH getting all sorts of good info for his students next term. And besides that I have been embroidering on my quilt for ten hour stretches at a time. All the intertwining circles are trimmed in blue...bob-wire has been added to the concentration camp sign, and the six Stars of David have been distressed to look old. It is beginning to POP! I am an embroiderer in training (self taught) so am not sure if my ideas will be transplanted or not but we shall see. Plenty of time for trial and error. ;-) Oh, and btw, I packed for summer but this evening had to dig out socks, my one long sleeved shirt and my sweater, and turn my new cropped jeans into long ones...It's COLD!!!! We heard it was snowing at Yellowstone. So far it's been motels, not camping. But that could change tomorrow. But I am thrilled to find a computer at this motel. I'll check in again when I get a chance. Meanwhile I hope you are enjoying summer wherever you are or what ever season it is where you are. ;-)
