Tulsa and the Memorial service

We got to Tulsa Thurs morning, and parked the truck for the weekend. Mom's memorial service Friday went good. Many family and friends, past and present, were there. Its good to see people you haven't seen in years, but sure wish it were under better circumstances. Mom was truley loved by many.
Sat was a down day for us. We went to the cemetary to see the plot, then hung out around Dad's motorhome and my brothers house.
Sunday morning now, and we are back on the board, life goes on, and time for us to get going. Many have told us, and I have to agree, this is our therapy, driving and traveling.
We are #1 on the board, but it is Sunday, so not much telling how long we will sit around waiting today. That is one of the drawbacks to the system, especially for solo drivers. You may wait around all day for a load, basically off duty,but when the call comes, you're expected to be ready to go. Teams can deal with it, because one "could have been resting" while the other is waiting, tho that is not real world.
The fun starts again,,,,where to next?? :)
