Home for the Holidays

We flew home from Palm Springs on Dec. 13th that included an overnite diversion for Allegiant Air to Redmond, Oregon for the night due to no visibility at Bellingham Airport. Thanks to Colleen and Marlen we got a ride home from Bellingham the following day. The house was toasty warm for us as Vic had turned on the in floor heating system. The house was in great shape thanks to Gabby and Kris who took such good care of things while we were gone.

We wonder why we came home since now, it is December 23rd, and it has been snowing or freezing every day since we got home. We have enjoyed much of it and at the same time, we have been feeling a little confined at times. Thanks to my SUV we are able to get out of the house if we need to. I haven't been to Bellingham once since I've been home when I thought I would have been up there several times by now, visiting friends and family. It has been really unusual.

Justin made it safely over the pass even though he chose to drive in the blizzard, at night, to get here and Jessica, although she has had some trouble driving in snow, seems to be getting rides to and from work. Tash was supposed to fly home from a Honolulu trip on Sunday but her flight was cancelled due to the weather on this end. I think she may have made it home early this morning but we haven't heard yet. Dustin is staying in the apartment until fishing starts and then he'll be gone most of the time Dungeness Crab Fishing off the Washington Coast. It has been fun seeing him and his dog Mako.

Here are a few photos of some of the snow around here. They say it may snow some more today, and by the looks of it, I would agree. Off to do some last minute grocery shopping for the Christmas Eve Pot Luck with the Blackburn Family at our house tomorrow night. Merry Christmas one and All!
