I Made it Home!

If you remember, I mentioned briefly last week that I would be away this weekend. I was quiet about it, because with ALL the new covid restrictions and the numbers of cases rising, I didn’t want to fuss with the judgement, haha! That being said, the people who gathered were VERY respectful and careful and followed every guideline carefully! We had SUCH a fun weekend together, working on projects, staying up late, eating delicious food, and watching the snowstorm build outside. There was a lot of talk of staying an extra night, but once we came to the conclusion that nothing would be “better” weather-wise the next day, we all decided to make the trek home.

Cher went to my house to watch the kids so Brady could come pick me up without the added risk factor of bringing all the little ones along. Thank you, Cher!! And thank you Brady for coming. That was so reassuring for me, for our passenger and friend, and for the other friend who was waiting to convoy. We ALL felt some relief to have a strong confident winter driver along! I know their husbands felt better about that, too.

Brady arrived on time with a beautiful smile on. His attitude was positive and light. We promptly got stuck in the parking lot, as our van doesn’t float on top of packed snow at all, but rather pushes right down to the ice underneath. He and I worked together and got it out in no time, and we putt putted our way to the highway.

The wind was really the biggest problem. Our van was strong on the icy highway but the wind wanted to push us off. Praise the Lord, we ALL made it home safe!! Everyone!!!

And, just in time, too!

Believe it or not, there’s a picnic table behind the trampoline!

Its COVERED out here!!! Our town worked HARD, LATE into the night, clearing roads for our community!! It would still be pretty foolish to go anywhere if unnecessary, in my opinion. Bradys work for the day and his physio have been postponed. But why go anywhere when there’s fun to be had here?!
