As we close out the old year, mother nature made it a time to remember.  A blizzard dropped 3″ of snow on Dallas, which really doesn’t know what to do with this.  Traffic accidents, delays, and cancelled events ruled the day.  On the other hand, it also presented some scenery we aren’t used to. It was pretty!

On the other hand, it also made for some difficulties.  We were supposed to drive to Hemphill today for a family Christmas get together.  We were unable to leave.  One reason, the snow and ice on our motor home awnings over the slides prevented us from pulling in the slides.  No way we can drive with them out!  And even if we were to try, our campsite is in a bit of a valley and the road out had a steep hill with several turns.   Several inches of ice pretty well prevented us from even trying to get out.  Oh well, there’s always tomorrow….
