I'm Alive

I'm home. Alive. It took me three hours to drive to the doctor's office (about 7 miles), drive Flor home (15 miles) and drive back here (7 miles). And I was on the freeway for most of this. It's not that there is actually that much snow - probably about six or seven inches. It's that absolutely zero of the roads I drove on were plowed, and the freeway moved at speeds on average of 15 miles an hour.

But, I'm home. And alive. There was a point in the middle when I started crying, I was so scared. I really thought I might die. (Can you die going only 15 miles an hour?) And we can see, clearly that was not the case, and Avram is home too. So I'm going to go spend some time with my family.

  1. Yes Thora you can die at 15 miles an hour or even at a dead stop. Glad you're home safe.

  4. So glad you made it. Ohio weather can be brutal. Compared with the rest of the nation, Utah's winter weather is often much more mild. We are currently having balmly winter days. (digging in the garden in sunshine)

  6. tell the relief society to spread around the doctor appointments. I think you've driven the woman enough in the last month to last the entire year.
