Oh my goodness....was that you Tess? You know, last night around the time of your above post, I heard what I thought was a sonic boom or possibly thunder. It coulda been a burp from Texas OR it coulda been a giggle from Minnesota! LOL!! Hippy, the one pic that made me go bonkers was the little Diva with the red lipstick...and your caption was perfect!! LOL!! (too, too FUNNY!!)

I loved that one too Eggie! I agree that evil SIL did have an evil smirk on her face in that one pic that was just asking to slapped off

You guys should have seen the look on the locals faces when I had to drag her into the gas station and try to get the marker off her face. I could hear the eyes rolling, "Here come some of them crazy city folk."

DD and I took a mini road trip up the hill to catch a view that was spectacular and clear yesterday! Our view was the ocean to the west all the way as far east as our necks could crank... Picture #1 is of downtown Los Angeles way in the background.
Picture #2 is looking to the east with snowcapped Mt. Baldy in the background.

I guess it's time for me to tell the tale of the trip. Day 1: We head out in my Jeep for Arkansas. No problems at all,we arrive early in Jonesboro. Day 2: We rest and have fun with my parents,my Sis and the family. Day 3: We leave for Chicago. At Kennet MS. the Jeep overheats. We are sitting on the side of a highway. Here is when I realize I have left my coat in Arkansas. Dennis manages to get the Jeep working with a small knife and two gallons of water. We visit the Gateway Arch and have a great time. Then the kids scream and cry all the way to Chicago. We arrive about 9pm,sick of the kids. Dennis announces he and I are going out. I wear his coat,and we go drive around downtown Chicago. We have a great time,go to a pub,see his childhood home. This is just the beginning,LOL

OK,onward, and the ugliness begins. We came back to a locked house. I wanted to knock on the door,but Hubby was mad,and would not.Long story short,we had Fil's cell,but no one had called us. It's as this point I realize this is gonna suck. We go to a cheap motel and sleep. The cell phone they forgot magically rings at 5:45 am. At 8 am,we hit the house,I just went to the basement while Hubby fought with his family. Spent alot o time in that basement.

Here is an excellent weather site I found today: http://wwwa.accuweather.com/adcbin/public/travel_land.asp?type=travel&day=1 You can get weather for an entire interstate highway. So, in my case, if I wanted to go see Weinermr via I-5, I could look up the weather for the entire route. The bad news is I AM thinking about going south for a few weeks, but we left it too late. Here is today's newspaper headline: "Perfect storm may hit county. Warm front, icy air have potential to be worst storm since 1996 when three feet of snow blanketed city." Even if we had left this morning, we would have still had the possibility of being stranded somewhere on I-5 in Oregon or California. They got mountain passes down there with even more snow. The bad part about storms here is that the area normally has a temperate climate. No hard freezes, no snow, so when one or both hit, the cities are not prepared for it. Hardly any snowplows, etc. All of the streets here are still covered with snow from our six inches three days ago.

It's a big mess out there Juju. You better be careful. Ok,the rest of day 4: After the ruckus of our night missing is over,I re-emerge from the basement. Hubby takes the heat for the incident,since they all KNOW I am rude enough to stand outside the house in the middle of the night banging on the door. We decide Dennis and I will take the four kids to the aquarium. I'm happy to do this,just to get away frm these oddballs. So,we get on the expressway,which in my opinion should be named the crawlway. After an hour we arrive at which point the cell phone rings. Dear SIL has found she has free tickets to the aquarium,which will save us over $100. So,no aquarium today,and there are 4 very unhappy looking children in the back seat. So,we go to,yes you got it,McDonald's. Arrrgh. And it starts snowing. My kids have never seen snow,and they sit with their little noses pressed against the glass staring. It was a very sweet moment! Later we go out for pizza,which was delicious. My other BIL is coming in from Vegas at midnight. Dennis and I are chosen to go pick him up at the airport. So,we head out,happy as can be,cause Jim(BIL) wants to hit a pub when he arrives. Alas,it is not to be. We get to the gas station,fill up,and the car promptly dies. And,the sucker is dead. It's snowing and like 22 degrees. So,we get to call SIL on her phone and have her pick us up. BIL gets a ride from other BIL. We all go to bed. Next day 5,oh yeah it get's worse!

Hippy, you had me very perplexed for a moment. I am thinking "I know Hippy is north of me and that front came in last night, but it's snowing in Houston???" LOL
