Arrrrrrgh

An update. We just kept getting hit with snow and more snow. I was completely resigned to spending Christmas alone and catching up with the family later. On Christmas eve, about noon, there was a knock on the door. There stood my nephew...
he had chains on his SUV and had parked on the top of my hill, hiked/slid down. I grabbed my toothbrush and the bag of presents and we made it to his car. An hour and a half later (usually a 20 minute drive) I was with my family!! Spent the night and a wonderful Christmas.

Heedless of the peril, he brought me home Christmas night. Roads were starting to clear, but my hill almost did him in!!
We made it.

As of yesterday afternoon things are melting...I MAY get the car out today!!

I have not been out of the house since last Saturday. As you may have seen on the news, the Pacific NW has been hit by a cycle of cold winter storms. I live on a hill, my driveway is steep AND I HAVE A BAD CASE OF CABIN FEVER. Two years ago I slipped on the ice and broke my ankle, so I am more than cautious now. And they are predicting another, even worse, storm on Saturday.

I don't even think Santa can get here.

Keep the jokes coming!!
