Not to worry Marm...will do...I plan to lead her "wagon train" style right to the turnpike on ramp...she will have smooth sailing all the way to PA!!!

BTW...the weather here is beautiful, and the forcast is for the same...once she crosses the border, she will have buttersunshine all the way to my door!!!

Alib, are you taking a laptop? I am just an hour south of Vancouver and "might" be in the area if you can sneak out for lunch.

Butter, thanks for the Tess report.

Thanks for relaying messages Spy and Butter. We're here and getting ready to sleep so we can get up early enough in the morning to head over to Ohio to see Kep!!

We arrived at about 10:30pm Central time and then had some dinner and visited for a couple of hours. Charlie has checked his office and I'm here to say goodnight. Won't have time to look at the board so I hope y'all have been having fun. :)

This was the longest it's ever taken us to get from home to Chicago. grrrrrrrrr-snow, sleet, slush, more snow..... oh well.

Tess is so happy that Buttercup moved her over to the other Road Trip thread!!

Alib--I hope you have a nice train trip. :)

Tess, I'm very relieved you made it safely. You are much more brave than I am to drive in that kind of weather. I hope tomorrow's drive is much different than today's.

TESS!! Great to hear you are safe.:) Today must have been ugly out there on the roads. Better luck tomorow to you for the driving conditions.

Sleep well, and have a great visit.

Tess, we were getting worried. Thanks for posting. Bad news is I talked to somebody in Nashville tonight, and they were complaining about the snow. Hope it warms up a LOT tonight and tomorrow.

And let's not forget Babyruth is going to Australia real soon. BR, you obviously will be too jetlagged and excited to think about this when you get there, but I found a FREE internet terminal in the Sydney airport. You can use it on the way home while you are hanging around the international departures waiting for your plane.

Wonder if Tess is on the road again?

Tess, glad to hear the snow is now blown over and rain is in it's place. Hope it is a light rain, but at any rate - be careful Tess! Wish I was going to meet all those tvch friends with ya!

Alib, a train trip sounds terrific! At least you don't have to do the driving. If you get a chance let us know all the details.

I got a call from Charlie about 20 mins ago..they are 50 miles outside Toledo ( I forgot to ask what side of Toldeo!!!) They have encountered some heavy rain, but are moving steadily towards our Steak n Shake!! I expect them to be about 4:30 EST if all goes well.

It is not raining here, so they should run into clear weather sometime soon....

I'll keep you updated!!!

(PS: After leaving Tess, I have to go to the school for some homework actitivies...I may not be able to post our visit until tonight, sorry)
