Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

 ...Often Go Awry....

Our new plan.

The original plan was to take our time driving to Kentucky incorporating a few fun side trips, i.e. Carlsbad Caverns, Roswell and maybe a quilt shop or two AND Buc-ee's!  (I've wanted to visit a Buc-ee's since watching this YouTube video!  HERE)

But... a phone call from my sister Monday night changed all that.

Big winter storm predicted...and it should land on Thursday, right in our path...
when we would have been in Arkansas.

So, we cut all the fun side trips, jumped in the car and drove like crazy women...

two massively long days...

but we beat the storm arriving in Kentucky on Wednesday night....just ahead of the ice and snow.

My car in my sister's driveway Thursday morning.

We did stop right outside Amarillo to visit Cadillac Ranch. It was a fun distraction, even if it was freezing cold and windy!

I was wearing two puffy coats and a sweatshirt and I was still shivering.

HERE is a video of the Cadillac Ranch from 2012.  (Truth be told I was a bit disappointed to see all the graffiti.)

So, now we are all hunkered down watching endless Netflix, eating endless good food and playing endless games of Skip-O. 
(Kind of reminds me of early-pandemic days...)
I'm hoping the weather will improve enough soon to get out and go see my new house. (My daughter is hoping she'll still be able to fly home out of Paducah on Sunday as planned.)
