Well, best laid plans....
Our highly anticipated take-off for SE Washington was rudely aborted when we saw the weather forecast before going to bed last night...snow level down to 1500'!! Since we must travel over Snoqualmie Pass to get to G & G's, this was a problem. We woke up to the news that 12" of snow was expected during the 24 hour period. We even had snow in parts of the Puget Sound this morning! What happened to two weeks into Spring?
Sooo, being flexible old farts we switched gears and ran errands and Jeff washed the front of the moho, but got hailed on! Weird weather! We got such a nice send-off from our neighbors last night, too, when they invited us down to their house for a "wine break" before finishing our packing. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, came home, made angelfood cake (for my Dad's 97th birthday) and banana bread for Bill and Marcy and Jeff and Mom (we'll see if Connor likes it--I hope so!)
When I called Mom to let her know we wouldn't be able to make it today, she was disappointed but was glad that the sheep were turned into the pasture next door cuz the cutie-pie little guys were out, so I think Connor and Jilly (Bill and Marcy's 2) will get a kick out of them. Connor gets to ride the tractor when he gets there!!!! (with some minor help!)
So, wish us luck as we try again tomorrow to make it across the mountains. A friend read the previous blog and said "good luck, I think you'll need it!" given our beginning, I suspect she's right!
