Polar Vortex......Post Views 10306

Back to the land of ice and snow.......

   Thanks to the return of the Polar Vortex in the Midwest my flight to the Midwest was delayed by a day.  Friday I was up at 4AM and by 6AM  in the friendly skies going from Portland,OR to Atlanta, GA to Milwaukee, WI and then by car to Wausau, WI.  It was a full day of flying fun.




   Chuck picked me up at 4PM and by 6PM he, his Charlies' Angels and I were headed north to Alaska----well, north to mid Wisconsin.   But before that he had to make a stop at the Milwaukee skating center. This is probably the closest I will ever get to the Olymics.                                               strong winds....




                                              Charlies' Angels warming up....

    Our drive to Wausau went fine until 30 miles out. The weather turned to high winds and blowing snow across slippery roads. 

  Saturday morning brought a bit of a culture shock to me.......

This was a good travel day in the life of Grandma G.

"Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise, his greatness no one can fathom.  One generation will commend your works to another, they will tell of your mighty acts."  (Psalm 145: 3 & 4)
