My Monday is actually beginning with left over weekend chores. (How appropriate that everything after holidays have leftovers!). I finally got enough truckers back that Krl and I bailed and went to Midland. I had been promising for two days we would make the trek and I was running out of day possibilities. We were really very wise and didn't over do it. We enjoyed a meal and made two stops for supplies unavailable at our work compound. Today Krl is going to the bank and then to the laundromat. Our new trailer is equipped with a washer and dryer but since it only holds four pair of jeans in a load it would be very unfair to begin with laundry so far behind.

We are returning to our twenty-four/seven schedule today. I am hopeful that Felipe's crew can keep the cotton coming at enough volume to satiate these two plants. It is a catch twenty-two. Once we go back around the clock their is no grace period to catch up so I felt I needed to bring back my South Texas guys. I had a call from two of them yesterday and it was evident they are ready to go back to work. My biggest fear is that they will get up here and it will weather and everyone will be sitting looking at each other.

FATHER, be with us as we find our work groove. Thank YOU for the reprieve afforded us by the Holiday. We are a blessed people, thank YOU! I continue my prayer for Hag, Lillie, Rene', Carol, Michelle, Aimee, and for Rusty and Kim's baby. Please bless them with YOUR healing. I pray for R2D2 and our spiritual family. I pray for YOUR kingdom.
