DAY WITH DEBBIE

Yesterday, Saturday, January 10, I packed up all my inks, paper, fun pictures, etc. to make cards. Packed them in the car and took off for Debbie's. It was snowing and some of the roads were a little covered. Not really icy, but in spots. I called Debbie and said I was sorry but thought it better to wait another day. But, I really wanted to spend the day with her. So, I hesitated and then called Mike. He said Randall Road was clear when he went to work, so I decided to go on. Called Debbie and said I was on my way. Well, the roads got a little better through Batavia and Geneva, but as I reached South Elgin, the snow was heavier and because I was almost there, I just kept driving.

It took me 2 hours to drive. ( yes, I am cautious) It was a beautiful drive due to the white of the snow. When I got there, Debbie had just finished shoveling the snow off the driveway.

We went in and decided to take the tree down. So, I helped her take ornaments off and we had fun with some of them. The Knudsen tree is a "family tree" with many ornaments bought by family. Including me!! It was fun.

As I looked out the window, the snow and the wind were getting harder. I thought of the 2 hour trip there and possibly longer going home. Decided it might be better to leave early and forget the card making until another day.

So, we went to lunch (can't skip that) at Golden Corral and ate much more than we needed. Said our goodbyes and I left for home. Well, when I got back to around Geneva, it was not as bad and the rest of the trip was not bad either. I was a little mad at myself for being scared to stay longer. But, I guess really you never know and it is best to play it safe. I could have just stayed all night (Bill is with Dan in Cedarville) but I did not want to leave my hubby all alone that long.

The moral of the story: well, it could be DON'T TRAVEL THAT MANY MILES JUST FOR FUN WHEN ITS SNOWING. Or, it could be ENJOY YOURSELF AND NOT WORRY ABOUT WEATHER.

Have a great day.
