It took us every bit of 14 hours to drive home to Texas yesterday.  What a beat down!  It snowed on Sunday, and the 100 miles between Cedar Rapids and Des Moines were awful on 80.  We saw 75 cars in the ditch.

SEVENTY-FIVE.

I’m so thankful we didn’t have to try to drive back on Sunday, we’d surely have perished.

We had a great trip.  It was lovely to see family and friends, but wonderful to get home last night.  We are SO TIRED now.    And we have lots of laundry.

Oh, in other news, today is December 2.  Expect a guest post from The Kid later today…because today is his day for guest posting.  (Good thing, too, because my funny bone is broken.)
