We are driving away...

YEAH - the time is here. Time for visiting family & friends. Time for winter driving conditions. Time for LIVEing, LOVEing and EATing. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone and be safe and careful.

Chain up?

This afternoon we laid out the 2 sets of chains we have to make sure they were in working order and we remembered how to use them. Not that we want to, but just in case, we are ready for anything. Oh sure, now that I am writing this I think " oh we could have had a V8". No really, I should of gotten the camera out so have picture of the scene. Oh well. Hopefully, we won't even have to put them on.
Less than 36 hours to go. EEEEE gads. It's creaping up on me faster and faster. I AM READY though and still breathing just fine.

Seattle Crippled

Oh NO - SNOW cripples Seattle. I pray that the roads are at least clear by the time we need to drive on them. I can handle cold and snow, but not snow on the roads. Only 1 1/2 days till take off and I'm more anxious than ever abt the traveling part.

I dream of a White Christmas

Yeah, so many storms. Ugh - in rush hour traffic isn't the best time for them though. 3 days till take off.

I need a brown paper bag

I can hardly breath right thinking abt my up coming trip. Just 4 more lays before we head out. We are staying at the Poole's Palace for the first couple of days - thanks veryone for the chance to stay there. I am even more excited that my niece and her husband (the newly weds) are coming from LA to Sea to be a part of the occasion. Yeah.

The countdown begins

Only 5 days till take off to see my family and friends.... We are packing cold weather gear as well as wet weather gear - including chains. We have gifts, pics, food and memories to share. I can't even breath sometimes thinking abt it all.

Time for sharing

Tis the season to share:

Our Christmas tree with you... complete with flocking, lights and bows.

our food with the locals.... the road way with our neighbors and the gate to our hearts.

We are so thankful for the moisture our latest snowstorm brings. With the snow comes COLD temps, but our hearts are warm and that is what counts. Happy Holidays to all.
