It’s been quite the snow storm here in Maryland, and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get out of our driveway, let alone on a plane to El Salvador tomorrow morning, but turns out I will!

This blessing has been brought to me by some heavy construction equipment and one very stubborn airline that refused to cancel its flights even though almost all the others did, and BWI airport is supposedly “closed.”

So “Thank You, Mr. Front-end Loader” and “Thank You, Delta.”  Also a big thank you to Fred and a nice neighbor, Donny, who cleared a little car’s-width trail with me down our court so that we COULD get out in the morning if we had to.  We’d like to think the county road guy appreciated our help.

And now it’s off to bed with me, since I have to be at the airport at 4:30 a.m.  Groan.  But in an excited-to-be-going-after-all kind of way.
