the Truck

So I have to  tell this story... It's so typical of us.  First you need to know the farm needs a new truck before harvest.  Well, Stan, Jed's uncle, found one in Houstonia, MO.  Jed decided we would go get it... and stay in the sleeper... you know a romantic weekend for us??!! :)  So I line up my mom to come stay at our house, keep the girls, and take them to their activities.   BUT  in later conversations we found out it didn't have a sleeper. 
PLAN B:  Stan, Jed, and I will go get it.  Stan will sleep the way there and drive his pickup back.  Jed will drive all the way, we'll stay the night in a hotel (much better) and then drive the truck home the next day. 
So we took off early Thursday morning.  We got there before noon.  Jed gets in and instantly starts laughing... LOUDLY.  turns out there is no passenger seat!!!!  Are you kidding me??  The seller said he could offer me a five gallon bucket... for a 7 hour ride um don't think so. 

PLAN C:  I drive Stan a few hours in his pickup through Kansas City, and Jed drives the "new" truck. :)  We did end up getting to stay in a hotel in Kansas City and I must say it was well worth it.  We had a great time just the two of us hanging out, but wow!!!
