Postponed










JMA's first snow and not sure
she likes it.

CEA's snow angel CMA


I was very excited to head to LA and visit my marvelous tent mate from this year's Suntrek training. KH and I spent 3 weeks sharing a tent and were the only women in a group of 11 trainees but still came out of it great friends. She moved to the west coast after the end of our tour season and now has her own sublet. I was hoping to help her get settled in the new place. However, Mother Nature had other ideas. Yesterday, I swung up to Foresthill to see the nieces before heading to LA today and while sleeping last night 14 inches of snow fell. Of course, I knew that a storm was scheduled to come through but we rarely ever have cold, snowy weather in December, that happens in January or February. I figured the meteorologists were going to be as accurate as usual. So I waited through the morning hoping the snow plow would come by and the restriction of 4WD with chains would be lifted. It was eventually but the weather all the way to southern California was going to be ugly and I preferred to be safe then sorry. So here I remain, in Foresthill, and if I didn't know better I might think that CMA had something to do with the weather. She kept saying how sorry she was that I couldn't go to visit my friend and then would snuggle up a little closer to me with a big smile on her face.

Thanks for reading.

Your nieces are really cute! Being "stuck" with them shouldn't be too bad. Glad to see you are writing again...keep it up!
