When we first moved to Tennesse in 1993 that following winter there was a huge ice storm in the Tennessee/Kentucky area. There were people left without power for up to two weeks. Our house was with out power for a little over 4 hours. When you think of winter weather Kentucky isn't the state I would think of.
Well as you know from the last two posts Ronnie left for Minnesota on Wednesday. After waking up on Thursday morning to make the rest of the treck he was delayed due to another ice storm. It was pretty trecherous outside and they were telling people not to drive unless it was urgent. So Ronnie didn't get to leave Bowling Green until around 5:30 p.m.
From Bowling Green to Indianapolis usually takes us about 4 hours. It took Ronnie about 7 to 7 1/2 hours to get there due to the road conditions. He fianlly pulled over and got a hotel room for the night. He got up again on Friday morning and hit the road. He made it to Rochester just in time to grab some clothes, shove them into a duffle bag and jump on a charter bus headed for Duluth. Ronnie was doing worship for the singles ministry weekend retreat. He barely made it. I think that they even held the bus for him for about 30 minutes until he got there.
What a crazy trip. I am sure that he is worn out, but what a fun way to start his job. He will be playing music and maybe even doing a little skiing or snow boarding.
Have fun, Hunky, but please be careful. Although the insurance money is tempting I would much rather have you around.

I am glad that he made it here safely. It is supposed to warm up a bit this weekend which will be nice. I was really starting to get tired of the negative degree temps!
The weather in Duluth right now is gorgeous--sunny and cool.I've been outside in just a sweatshirt. Pants and shoes too of course.
I didn't do any skiing or snowboarding. Steve, Bob, some of the others and I went to lunch and a movie. We saw Vantage Point. Great movie with a slightly hoakie ending. But, I enjoyed it.
Talk to you soon.
yeah MN!!
glad ronnie made it safely! we'll see you guys come summer! :-)
Our family is looking forward to seeing you all back in the halls of CCC. It would be best if you get a house down the street, though! Another one went up for sale. Plus--the one three doors up has been vacant for a few months now. Maybe she's ready to lower her price--darling Cape Cod!
