The Next Town
Posted By thecircusblog on January 11, 2010
Loading up for the next town. Somehow there is always a little excitement before the move. The feel of the road passing beneath you and hopefully the next town will be a mite better. Then the worry about the trip pops up it’s ugly thoughts in your head, of brake downs or an accident that can cause you to loose all you own, even your life. I have traveled in every kind of foul weather and would wonder why Iam doing this and I bet I am not the only one……….. There was always that silent prayer, “Lord help us get to the next lot.”
