Home, we are Johnny...sad but true. We went to my uncle's 80th BD in Arkansas for the weekend. On the way down from the Twin Cities (where we live) we were commenting on how beautiful Missouri looked after the ice storm they had, the day before we went through. Every blade of grass, even the smallest of branches was coated with a film of ice that just sparkled. Ice dripped from road signs, fences, house eaves...beautiful! The roads were fine and beauty surrounded us. That was Friday.
On Monday morning we left KC, having covered that length of the trip Sunday, weather kept getting worse until we were in Iowa, in the middle of an ice storm, like the one that had produced all the beauty in Missouri. Trust me it is not beautiful while it is happening. Cars off the road everywhere...40 mph was speeding on the 70 mph freeway. Big semi's were both a blessing (they helped dig ruts into the road to drive in) and a hazard...if they passed you, which they did, your car was covered with the ice/snow they plowed through.
White knuckle driving, one more reason to move...not that we need another. Can't wait til we visit TV in April.
