Let Them Eat Snow



Not 10 minutes after we realized it had started snowing did we decide to do what anyone would do...

Go out for ice cream. Of course, being former Californians, we didn't think that the longer we sat in that ice cream shop, the more time the snow would have to turn into ice. If our experience in the desert stirred any thoughts, it was only that the snow would be completely gone by the time we were ready to head home.

Of course, we're in Washington now.

We figured that out as we were sliding down a sloped street in our neighborhood. As Derrel was saying, "I don't have it! I don't have it!" I realized that this was probably the stupidest thing we've ever done. Neither of us have a very good track record with snow. Even walking in the snow has been a problem in our pasts.

Finally, Derrel was able to slide us right into our driveway. It was enough of an adventure to render us homebound today.

WOW!! Those pictures are beautiful! Is that your street? I can't wait to see it in person...well, I guess, that'll be without the snow. Bummer, sort of. AND your profile picture is great! I have your mugs on our fridge too! Miss you guys! Come soon! No, sooner than that!
