Winter travel in the mountains being what it is, Mr. K has been studying weather forecasts for about six different locations in order to plan our trip to be with his sisters and other family for Christmas. He found a window and we made it to our destination safely, arriving after they’d had their big dump of snow and before the ice moved in. It was pretty to look at but the ice meant we didn’t leave the house at all yesterday. Today we were able to get out and shore up our supplies, getting four more pies and a fruitcake. Priorities.
