We are at a friends house for the weekend. Arrived past midnight…after a crazy scary drive in the snow. Have to love Alberta weather!! Probably should have decided to stay home when we saw the snowfall warnings on the weather network. But, it’s been so long since we had a chance to visit these guys and we were looking so forward to it.
My hubby’s out of town for a work “retreat”. Which basically seems to mean a weekend in the mountains with the guys and a football game. They may throw in a meeting, if they’re sober enough to remember it’s a semi-work weekend.
So, the point is, I had to drive. And the 2.5 hour drive took an extra hour. My daughter said we were in warp-drive (or light speed) heading into the speeding tunnel of stars…the only difference is we had to keep going and going… We were stuck mid-warp speed for what felt like forever!! My four year old was wondering why he could see the “air moving” outside his window. Also, he thought we were all alone, surrounded by trees. Which was actually a very accurate description!
So, maybe I should have taken the main highway. But, the traffic reports showed that the back roads were better…if that’s the case, I feel sorry for anyone who had to drive on highway 2.
I miss my visits with her and her kids. She’s a dear friend. Our girls were babies together. We were super close and I miss our talks and visits. I can’t walk across the road for tea anymore…So, I went for it, and we drove here. We made it, despite the stressful drive. And now I will go to bed and try to rest so that we can have a great visit.
Night night…

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!
