Whenever I come home, one of the things I look forward to
the most is visiting with my friend, Ashley. While I’ve loved being home for
the holidays, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t seen Ashley as much as I’d like.
My mom offered to watch Allison this morning so that I could
make the 25 minute drive to Ashley’s house for a visit. When I left at 9am, it
was rainy and windy but very mild. Ashely and I sat for hours in her living
room chatting about everything when I decided (at 1pm) that I really needed to
get home to get Allison down for a nap. As we walked to the door, Ashley said,
“Wow, it looks really bright out there!” We walked closer and saw that it was
snowing. The wind we had heard wasn’t the rain, it was a small snow storm.
I never like travelling in the snow but I knew the weather
was only going to get worse so I headed out. There are three possible backroads
I could take home. I tried the first two but had to turn back because my car
was fishtailing all over the road. I was only going 50km/h but I was still
sliding. Thankfully, after over an hour, I made it home safely (white knuckled
and pale).
Allison and I both had a nap before the lasagna dinner.
Before Shelley gave all the kids a bath, my Dad put them all in the corn hopper
to play. They all look so happy!
Tonight we had our last family dinner before we go back to
KC. We leave on Saturday so we thought that tonight would be a goodnight to
have a pot-luck at my parent’s place.
