Well, this weekend was a quick one. Thursday we kept hearing stories about what a bad winter storm we were about to embark one, accumulation of snow, ice and wind. We sure did get it all! Where we live in Oswego, we were at the line of snow & ice mix. We had about three inches of ice on my drive when I got out Friday morning. It was a good thing I had salted the day before because it helped with clearing. The chunks of ice were popping up in sheets as I was digging out. Our snow blower wouldn't even work on it. Oh well, God knows, I need the exercise! It did take me 2 hours to clean the drive. Once I was completed, I looked back and pleased of the work then the city came through with their plow...I now had about 2.5 feet of an ice pile at the end of my drive. I threw up my hands at the guy, he just laughed. I didn't find humor in that. Back at, I opened up that part of the drive.
That afternoon, we decided to leave and follow our original plans and head to Peoria for Christmas with my side of the family. We got into town late, relaxed a little and went to bed early as we were all tired.
Saturday the rat race was on running errands and making the stops to various places. During the middle of the night poor Logan got sick. I think it was all the junk he ate with all the juice. He was fine on our trip back, thank goodness!
The wind and the temperature is ridiculously cold! So those in the Illinois area, stay warm!
Merry Christmas,
Holli
