Our back yard Valentine’s Day Morning Photo by Chris Duffy
This is the way our yard looked when we got up to leave for San Antonio. I immediately thought of the 5 hour trip we were facing on the snow covered highways and wanted to cancel. But my husband who isn’t the least bit afraid to drive on snow or ice said the trip was still a go, so we went. It snowed on us for about the first hour and even then the roads were not icy. I’m glad, because although I love him dearly, my husband’s driving scares me spitless. It’s not like he’s had a lot of accidents. On the contrary, he’s only had two that I can recall in the 38 years we’ve been married and they were both non injury ones. It’s just that he follows too closely (I think) and goes too fast (again my opinion). He does have very good reflexes though, but I just wish he’d allow for other drivers doing stupid things.
Anyway, it had snowed in San Antonio also so I was thinking it would be slick and dangerous all the way there, but by the time we got to Waco the snow was starting to melt and by the time we got to Austin there wasn’t any snow left on the ground. We had a wonderful time with the kids and managed to make it back home safe and sound.

:wave: I’m glad you made it there and back safe and sound. I’ve ridden with your dear husband, too, and it it NOT just your opinion… His driving scares me spitless, too. :eek:
:wave: Glad you all got there and back without incident.
Your and Alice’s comments about your dh’s driving reminds me of my best friend’s husband. He drives Over 80 and almost bumper to bumper on the interstate. I rode with him once. Ever since then I make excuses not to because I promised myself that if I ever got out of that vehicle alive I would never get in one with him driving again! Don’t know how you do it! :eek:
your snow picture is about as pretty as any I have seen this year. just beautiful, soft looking and so cold and white. :sunny:
Glad you made the trip safely. Great picture.
