Regretably, Christmas is Canceled
I regret to inform you that Christmas has been canceled. I'm afraid I simply cannot leave a place of sunshine for snow (even if it is two feet) if it involves air travel. Don't blame me. I checked it out. We could drive home easily--most of the roads are clear and visibility is excellent. But that big mean Grinch Paul said no and driving away by myself (well, with Piper for the companionship and all) probably wouldn't lead to good things there. Even if we were driving, I don't know what I'd bring our clothes in because I can't get the suitcases out. The noise they make...it's just like that awful rattling of the overhead storage bins at take-off. No, I've said it before, but I've never meant it so much. No flying. If that means it's the year without a Christmas, so be it.

He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming! It came! Somehow or other, it came just the same!...Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought,"doesn't come from a store (or pork steaks). Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!" Of course we will miss you, but are gratefull that you didn't drive - Thank you Paul. We Love You, Our prayers are with you. Love Mom
I'm sorry you weren't able to visit with family for Christmas. It was probably a very good idea that you didn't drive, though. The roads were crazy--at least the last few days I was there. And I think I flew out just between storms on Christmas Eve morning--and even then, it was a very turbulent flight. I'm so glad I was able to put Kathryn in her car seat beside me!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas all the same, though. :)
Well, you should head on down to Phoenix and see if Peggy will feed you. At least you can get a good meal out of the season.
And on the whole, I understand the whole flying thing. I think I've had enough of that to last a lifetime as well.
Kiss my niece for me. And give her pets. (who's a good kitty. yes, piper's a good kitty)
You know the drill. And kiss my handsome nephew too. Love you always,
