Off on a Pipeline Adventure

Sunday morning we packed up the truck 
for the next pipelining adventure.

This little guy got to come too!


The drive wasn't to long,
just over 5 hours,
and 2 states away.

Novi, Michigan

We live 60 miles SW of Chicago

This is our happy home for the next month or so.


It is at an extended stay hotel.
Almost like a small 2 bedroom apartment.


Here is little man "helping" gramps unpack.


I think he is trying to explain to Shaggy the rules of being on the furniture!

And what a good helper he is while taking
Shaggy out to do her business.


I asked the pipeliner why they never have any pipeline jobs
where its warm?

Cause it has been frigid here!
Wind chills -25 last night!

I can see a lot of traveling in our future this coming year.

We were so lucky last year to have the pipeliner
working within 30 miles of home most of the summer.

That NEVER happens!

I am just hoping the weather warms up soon
so we can go home to get the camper.

That makes it feel more like home away from home.

I think somebody already misses her home.


But this is the motto I try to hold in my heart,


Have a great weekend
and




Liz

  8. We are further east than Michigan, but I know the frigid temps and snow, just like you are experiencing. What fun to spend time with your guys, even if it is in a "home away from home". Cute pictures!

    1. I never really mind the snow, unless I have to drive in it, but this cold is just horrid! Shaggys paws freeze everytime we go out! Hopefully spring will be here soon!

  10. Well I just love your sign "Home is..." perfect! Your grandson is great at helping with Shaggy. What a treat to have him come along. You and I are now practically neighbours. I'm just east of Toronto, Ontario ;)

    1. I have to stick to that motto, sometimes it gets tough being away from the home base!
