Flashback Friday...Snowed In

The last time I REALLY shoveled snow was 1999.

(Benefits of living in the city and a landlord that hires it out)

Being Snowed in, shoveling out my car and of course it being this time of the year has made me think of the last time I was snowed in at HOME...

winter 1999.

I think Mom and Dad were set to leave for Florida right after Christmas...

but if I remember right, the roads were torn up in the Trailer Park and they delayed their flight for a week....or maybe the snow started falling and that delayed their flight...

I can't remember which came first.

But the snow came and we were stuck.

If you spent winters at this house, you remember how pretty, yet crazy the drifting was in the driveway in between the buildings.

I could not get him to STOP shoveling and come inside...

I think he was worried about getting Mom to Dialysis.

Then a hero in Green showed up and plowed thru the drifts...

making a path out.
If it's the same storm, I remember someone coming to pick her up and we put a step stool out for her to step over the snow and into the car.

Dad was not at all happy that they were here in the snow, instead of there in the sunshine.

But, seriously, if I knew what was about to happen in February...

I would have never taken them to the airport.

I would have rather been snowed in with them ALL winter long.
