Good Morning Everyone!

What is a Schizophrenic weather pattern?  Let this British forecaster tell you!
Picture
What the heck is going on?
Massive flooding is what's going on.  According to the weather channel, 95% of the people in Nebraska have been affected by the flooding.  Some of them, marooned on islands, will have a difficult time leaving the area until waters recede.  Question is . . .  evacuate to where?

Although the entire midwest is involved, none of our members have been adversely affected.  Here's hoping April turns out better than it did last year.  I don't want to say the words "global warming"  Oops that slipped out! . . . Spring arrived March 20 . . . let's hope winter is over!

Howdy Everyone!
​

               A BOMB CYCLONE! . . .   A WHAT???

This situation is enough to be thankful for being in Florida!  We dodged that storm but we'll be coming home the end of April and the midwest has a whole constellation of weather on the menu at that time of year too!

My understanding is that most of our group missed the worst of it.  Good News!  Let's hope things get more springlike soon!

I only bothered taking a picture of the front seat . . . (for most of us kids the back seat is the most memorable part of the car)

Then "we" had kids.  They favored CAMPER VANS . . . because they wanted to go "CAMPING" . . Clever little devils!  Oh well, I guess our country is in good hands!

Good Morning Everyone!


                       Vacation?
            Are you kidding me???

Picture
         After the trip down to Florida I'll need 2 more weeks just to recover!!!

Let's just start by saying being able to get out of my driveway was the highlight of our road trip.  After a 13 hour day of blowing snow, slippery roads and heavy traffic we landed 800 miles down the road in Clarksville TN only to find that the major interstate between Clarksville and Nashville was CLOSED!!!  WHAT?  The detour was going to navigate traffic through local villages and tiny backroads.  As I stood there in the hotel lobby I imagined what THAT backup would look like as thousands of people tried to get to work in Nashville on Friday morning.  We set a 3:00am wakeup call, hit the road by 3:30am and sailed through the detour.  The balance of the trip provided a nice mix of fog and rain (thankfully no ice).  

Oh well!  We're here!  Sunny and 89 degrees.  Wearing flip flops and shorts and and honestly feeling sorry for those we left behind.
