Let's join Lisa JO 's writing prompts at 5 Minute Friday with Lisa Jo.
This week the topic is visit.
Our last visit with out wonderful children was quite an adventure for us...a twelve hour train excursion can be daunting enough, but add to that blizzard conditions across three states, and it makes for a wallapalooza~
Over the duration of the day spent chugging along in blowing snow, it couldnt help but blow in through every crack and crevice in the vestibules that connect the cars....
and not only pile up on the floor inches deep but gradually drift into higher and higher drifts up the walls, icing shut the exit doors.
It actually, became a concern as we approached our stop after the 12 hour trip about whether or not any of the exit doors would open... On every stop we were urged ' now, don't panic, we won't allow you to miss your stop.." my dear husband added, "yes, even if we have to exit through the emergency windows"...."Oh, my~"
and after about an extra two hours we finally made it to our daughter's lovely home....
What an awesome visit!
