Snow in Dallas . . . and beyond

Sunday January 9, 2011 Day 193

A wintry mix started in the morning, turning to snow around noon - only an inch or two, but still quite cold. We were debating what to have for lunch, and Eric announced that he had a couple of free pizza coupons from Papa John’s, so he went online to order two pizzas. When he got to the prompt for “special driver instructions” he put “bundle up.” He had to order the two pizzas separately, and on the second one he said “drive carefully.”

Christa, Paul and Aaron here, sans children. Played games, fixed pasta with spaghetti sauce. Roger started bread in the bread machine. It was delicious, as always.

Alicia called to say that they had gotten to Shreveport at about 3:00 a.m. and spent the rest of the night (morning!) in a hotel there. After about six hours of sleep, they got up and headed along I-20 toward Atlanta, but the roads were so bad that they only made it to Eutaw, Alabama before being forced by icy weather conditions to stay there for the night.
