Monday Blog Post: Vacation First Days

Mohawk Harvest Co-Operative Store in Gloversville, N.Y.

Mohawk Harvest Co-Operative Store in Gloversville, N.Y.

We left Payson AZ on Saturday the 3rd. We left at 5:30 AM! Yep, wasn’t even daylight yet. We stopped after sunrise in Holbrook at a little neighborhood diner for breakfast. It was pretty good. What I found, though, was that my phone wasn’t uploading. I didn’t want to fool with it over breakfast so I put it back in my purse and enjoyed my food.

Later that day I tried again. Still couldn’t get on. Annoying, right? No FB, Twitter, intenet, couldn’t post status or pictures. It was a puzzle.

That evening we were in Amarillo TX after an afternoon spent driving through the rain. Went to the Big Texan Steakhouse. My mother had never been so we wanted to show it to her. She’d seen it a few times on the Food Network and elsewhere. We had a great time but still, cannot get my phone to post.

Back in the room hubby and I try several things. His phone has full bars, mine has barely one. Argh!  Frustrated but I said, “Forget it. I’ll check it in the morning further down the road.”

Sunday, no service, all day. I tried calling tech support. They wanted info I couldn’t supply since I was on the road. I hung up. So, Now we’re in Springfield Missouri. I’ve turned my phone on and we’ll see what’s going on now that we’re not actively moving. Wish me luck!

While we’re in upstate NY, I have scheduled a book signing in Gloversville, NY at the Mohawk Valley Cooperative on Main Street. That’s a picture of the store front at the top of this post. I’ll be there Saturday, October 10th from 9am to Noon. I hope to see you there. Bring one of my books or buy it there and I’ll be happy to sign it.

No Author Shout-out today since I’m on the road.

So, I’ll still be on vacation next week but I’ll post a short blog on the 12th, just to keep you all posted about how my book signing went.
