Who would have thought we would have such a phenomenon on the coast! The snow was beautiful, while it lasted, but now has turned to rain and very cold. I had to make a trip to Portland on Monday, and had to find an alternate route to I-5, because most of our northern routes were "closed"! When I got to Salem, I had to "chain-up" and drive 20-30 MPH for the next 65 miles to the airport to pick up Eliot. It was a beautiful sight, but not a whole lot of fun to drive in! What is normally a 2 1/2 hour drive turned out to be more like 6 or 7! Fortunately, his flight was not cancelled or dalayed, and we once again pointed the old Cirrus south, stopping overnight to rest. We finally got home Tuesday at about 3 pm. It is certainly going to be a white Christmas for a lot of folks.
We are venturing out again on Christmas day to travel to Washington state to visit with Dean's family. It is not going to be a happy Christmas up there, as his mother is doing really poorly. We don't know how much longer she is going to be with us. Both Billy and Eliot may have to say good-bye to their grandmother. Billy has prepared "Silent Night" to play for his grandmother on his cello. I'm sure there will be many tears. Dean is doing OK, but it has been a difficult 2 days for him. Prayers would certainly be appreciated.
God bless you all this Christmas Eve and through Christmas and all of the Holidays. We so appreciate all of you and have come to realize that family is an extremely important part of our lives.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
