Thanks to those of you who wished us well on our trip home from Utah.
Last Monday we dusted the snow off of our little car and packed it up for home.
We waved goodbye to dear ones and were on our way home.
I was really terrified nervous driving in the snow again… in March no less… with the anniversary of our accident fast approaching…
In fact I could hardly look out of the window as we sped through the deluge of white flakes bombarding us. I kept my eyes down working on my embroidery project or playing on my iPad.
John was never worried or anxious about this trip like I was. I told him it is because he was knocked out at the first collision last year and didn’t live through the horror of the 2nd and 3rd collisions…. nor does he remember us sitting in our demolished car, waiting for the jaws of life to cut us free, in unbelievable pain, covered in blood and wondering if each breath would be our last!! I told him he is lucky that I am not more petrified squeamish. So there!!! …lol… He just has to put up with me!
I was relieved when snowy Utah turned into the clear Arizona. I always enjoy the drive through the beautiful Virgin River gorge.
The rest of the trip through Nevada and California was a breeze… (Ha..as if you can ever call driving through Las Vegas a breeze.)
And about 11 hours after saying goodbye in Utah, we drove up to our home-sweet-home in California safe and sound.
What a blessing that we can visit loved ones 700 miles away so easily. Just think how hard this journey would have been for the pioneers. We live in perilous times…. but there are also many blessing to living in our day and age.
For that I am thankful.
I have a lot of travel agent work that I must catch up on the computer…. but as soon as I can I am anxious to post my Utah smiles and catch up on your blogs,
Until then…. I am sending you hugs, Grammy L

I don't know how I missed your last post and then this one!! You must have snuck them both in! I am so glad that you both got home safe and sound! I know how you must have felt on the journey, especially with the snow. Memories such as yours are so hard to erase and I think anyone would be travelling with more than a bit of trepidation, especially after what you have had to endure for this past year. Here's hoping, now you have made the journey once, you will feel easier the next time! Can't wait to see what you got up to in Utah! Love you lots and lots! xxoo
So glad that all went well. Looking forward to seeing your adventures and pictures of your lovely family. Hugs and happy wishes!
