We left the condo this morning at 7:40, thinking it would be plenty of time to make it into Branson by 8:20. Wrong. We arrived at 8:30, but they were glad to see us as so many people couldn't show at all, including staff! We went out the way Ruthie and Phil and Sissy went out yesterday and I never was relaxed enough to handle the camera. First off we took the directions we were given (and I gave to them) and ended up on top of a hill we barely made it up and it was a dead end! [Ruthie and Sissy, that's when we went up Oakwood where you guys must have gone onto Lindell yesterday because that's the way we ended up going. We sure thought of you as we were sliding around up there! Wendy never told me anything about Lindell; guess she forgot that jag in the road!] We finally made it to the area that Big Cedar maintains and it was much easier. But the closer we got to Branson the worse it got. It was supposed to start with a wintry mix at 8. but it started with huge flakes at 7. When we got out of the hospital from my treatment there was at least a 2 inch collection on our truck! Lee scraped that off and we headed for the condo. I got the pic below as we got onto the highway. That's the hospital in the background, but that road was scary! I was kind of brave after the success of the trip into town, plus the nap I had during the treatment, so I got out the camera to get some pix, rather than holding on for dear life!
After we pulled out of Hollister, which is just south of Branson, it began to be better. It hadn't snowed as much there and the roads had been plowed.
Then, as we got onto Big Cedar property the roads were so much better because they work on them so much. Whew!
Then we only had a couple of miles to come on from there to our condo. We were blessed to make it without big problems. The devil kept hoping to get a hold on us, but God held us in His hands! Here's what it looked like when we pulled into the condo parking lot.
