Day I: Got out early this morning 0830. SeaGeg 12-11-2008 9-24-13 AM Headed east stopped in Ellensburg for some $1.63 gas and then headed west south to Sleah do drop of Christmas goodies for Jane and Larry. Jane had some yummy sandwiches and beans to tide us over for the rest of our journey. Adian was there visiting and Rich picked him up and we were back on the road for Spokane. Arrived here around 2:45. It's now almost 10 so I think I will hit the sack.
Day II: Good morning. Woke up to NO snow, But the ground was a sheet of ice. I stepped onto the driveway to retrieve something from the car and immediately started sliding towards the street. Looking aout now all the trees behind the house are covered with thick frost.It's a little later now and yes the snow has begun to fall.GEG Snow 12-12-2008 3-39-27 PM As usal I wait for the snow to come with great anticipation and now that it is here I start wondering how this is going to impact the drive home. Anyway It sure is beautiful and I am planning on a morning surrounded in a winter wonderland.

Day III:Christmas 12-13-2008 12-19-29 PM No winter wonder land this morning. It did snow for a bit but only about an inch. As the day progressed it has been getting colder. It was 32 when I came up at 0530 Now it's 4:30p and its 19 degrees. Took some Christmas pictures for Mary and helped her get her Christmas letter going including some pictures. Now Isabel is getting ready to head out for an overnight and we will be getting ready to go out to dinner at the Downriver Grill.
Day IV: Seems fitting its day 5, 5am, and 5 degrees. We are thinking about heading home later this morning. Depending on road conditions. It,s a Go! got out around 10am after filling the tank we were on our way to a beautiful yet uneventful drive.
