And We're Off!
January 10, 2020
Well, were off! It's 8 a.m. and were getting the heck out of dodge! There's a snow storm brewing and we don't want any part of it!
So we're headed south in our trusty 2014 Chevy Equinox and head for warmer climates. Shades? Check! Swimsuit? Check! Suntan lotion? Check! Were' all set. Let's get the heck outta here!
So it doesn't take long and our ride turns a bit interesting. We hit ice and drizzle already near Nebraska City. Aw - what's a little ice? And Kansas! Where in the heck does all that wind come from? No wonder Dorothy's house landed a million miles away! I'm just surprised she was able to hang on to her little dog Toto! Heck I could hardly hang on to my hot dog as we exited the
truck stop on the Kansas turnpike! Holy frankfurters!
Well, neither ice, nor snow, nor wind, nor rain is going to stop us hell bent snowbirds! We keep the pedal to the middle, and eventually we hit warmer weather. It's a balmy 70 degrees at 4 pm when we pull into Edmund, Oklahoma. The Hampton Inn is our pad for the night and it's Burger King for supper. (Yeah, I know! We're big spenders! But look at it this way- at least we get to have it our way!)
So we drag in our suitcases, and snuggle up to a night of TV and munchies! We turn on the TV and what do you know? The movie, "Chocolat" starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp is on! I've always wanted to watch that movie but have never had the chance, so we both settle in and wow! Amazingly, I don't know who enjoyed it most! Jer's eyeballs were glued, looking at looking at Juliette Binoche, and of course, I enjoyed the scenery too. Who doesn't like the looks of Johnny Depp!?! So it was a great movie. My only complaint was that it somehow gave me an irresistible
urge for chocolate! Thank goodness I had stuck one or two (or four or five) candy bars in my purse! Good night all! Sweet dreams!
Texas or Bust!
