Our snow is gone, but the winter weather lurks out there. We had plans to head to Auburn tomorrow morning, pick up my dad and Evelyn, and head on to Rochester for her doctor’s appointments. As we were on our way to the kennel to drop Martha off this afternoondscf23691

(poor Martha, I hate leaving her), we heard the weather report complete with a winter weather advisory for early morning. We decided we would gather up our things, and head out tonight.
We arrived in town as dark had settled in. We stopped at the mall for a quick bite to eat….the eatery only took cash…..we had to find an ATM. As we walked away from the machine, I looked up at the sign over the neighboring store, and saw the name of old friends that we haven’t seen in over twenty years. They had a strawberry farm last we knew, and now they have a winery!   The saleslady was very helpful, and we chose a nice elderberry wine. We are enjoying it tonight, as we relax at in our motel room. I will have to get a note off to Marge and Angelo to tell them we love their wine.
I called Dad about 8 o’clock. I knew they had a full day with visitors, so we said we would see them early in the morning. George’s alarm is set for 6:30. Being here has allowed us an extra couple hours of sleep at least. We’ll see what the weather brings in the morning.

Martha looks like she knows you are leaving her.
Have a safe trip. We’re supposed to get 3-6″ of snow tonight, but I’m not sure what’s in store for you.
Happy New Year.

Please be careful on the road. This year there seems to be lots of opportunity to stay home rather than chance bad driving weather. You were wise to bump up your plans.
