A little extra time….

…is what I got from going to Plan B for our trip. It is snowing, and snowing hard. I was all packed and ready to leave on the 8:15 boat, but reports were that the roads were not good. So, my next choice, and the one I am taking is to leave on the 11:30 boat. Which is also the last boat off the island today. Because of the snow. And the wind. But ma belle-soeur and I will drive slowly, take it easy, and be glad we waited a little bit for the roads to be plowed and sanded before heading south.

I used the three extra hours to catch up on e-mail, waste time on FaceBook, and add three pairs of earrings to my Etsy shop. I don’t know what gets into me when I start writing those descriptions, but by the last one, my kooky alter-ego seems to have taken over for sure. I’ll check later and wonder, “Who wrote that?”

Time for Plan B?

So, I’m supposed to be driving to Portsmouth, New Hampshire with my sister-in-law Brenda tomorrow morning. We are meeting our friends Susie and Cathleen for our 7th annual girls’ weekend.

However, here’s the weather report for tomorrow:

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM TO 10 PM EST FRIDAY.

* PRECIPITATION TYPE… SNOW.

* ACCUMULATIONS… 9 TO 14 INCHES.

* TIMING… FRIDAY MORNING INTO FRIDAY EVENING.

* HIGH IMPACT… HEAVY SNOWFALL ALONG WITH BLOWING SNOW WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES AND MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS.

It’s only a 4 hour drive, usually…But that’s a pretty dramatic weather report. Good thing we’re not in a hurry.

Did you know that the French word for sister-in-law is “belle-soeur?” Beautiful sister. It fits Brenda very well.
