after the storm


The storm has passed and we made it through fine. We received 1/3" of ice and then five inches of snow on top of that. Some of the highways in the area were closed down for awhile, but traffic seems to be going by on the highway. There were power outages west of us, but we were spared this year. Now we just wait for the thaw. We have the whole weekend before Dorothy has to go back to work so it's watching old movies and eating comfort food for us. Our daughter, Rachel, whose been visiting for the last two months was able to make her flight back to St. Thomas this morning. She's going from 19 degrees to 80 degrees in a matter of a few hours.

I bet you wish you were on that flight with her! Good luck thawing out.

it doesn't seem fair to have that story and "Peach eater creek" in the same post. Still, it seems like you've found a satisfactory way of getting through it.

We've had it with this weather! We're taking off in our truck for Florida day after tomorrow. That's not our favorite place, but it sure breaks up the winter here. Although we probably will have to shlep a snow shovel along with us.
