From our house to yours - we'd like to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving day was spent with Dad down in Iowa. Eighty-three years old and he cooked everything but the apple pie!
Our challenge was getting there. Matt had his first accident on his way to work Wednesday. He was going about five miles per hour down a hill and hit black ice and then the car in front of him. Matt's fine. The truck just has a small injury which we probably won't repair. Fast forward about six hours and we're now heading westbound on I-90. Just past Albert Lee - not realizing the road was sheer ice - a car missed hitting us literally by inches and went into the ditch. Just past Blue Earth there was a major accident closing both sides of the freeway - we sat there for over half an hour and waited for the freeway to be cleared. Eventually we finally made it to Dad's - about three hours later than we had hoped. On the way back yesterday, we counted places where 32 vehicles had slid in on I-90. Our favorite? The two semi's facing northbound in the median!
Giving thanks that Matt is fine and God kept us safe on our travels!
