Father Winter has come
Jeff and I went up to Ft. Worth to see Michael and Renee for Michael's birthday on Monday, January 31st. I had checked the weather online and saw that Monday's highs were in the 60's, so I thought we would be good for a great weekend out of town.
We went to Nicky D's for lunch Monday, drove around Benbrook Lake, and got ice cream at Braum's. Then we met Michael, Renee, Dad, and Sharon for dinner at Babe's Chicken in Arlington. A great time was had by all!
BUT...Monday night, a severe cold front came through with rain, sleet, and snow. We woke up on Tuesday with an inch of ice on the roads. Jeff and I were stuck in Ft. Worth! We had stayed in a hotel Sunday and Monday nights, but could not stay any longer because it was expensive!
We inched our way over to Uncle Jim and Lisa's, after slipping and sliding down the highway. Jeff was so nervous that he got sick after getting to the house. We were stuck until Thursday before being able to go home. It was definitely an interesting trip!!
