Still in Kansas???

I've begun thinking we must be in Kansas. No Toto, no Auntie Em--but lots and lots of wind! It howls around the trailer. It carries fine black dust everywhere. I just never quits. Our big poinsettia was knocked over on the patio and is somewhat the worse for wear. The other two are wind damaged, and all of the bracts and leaves are covered with that black dust. Yuck.

All that cleaning I did yesterday? Total waste. I'll have to do it all tomorrow again.

The first thing I saw this morning was a Kik from Terri mentioning Chris's post about a bicycle wreck. It turned out that both Chris and Anara wrecked their bikes on the ice yesterday. Yikes! Anara wasn't injured, but Chris ended up being checked out in the hospital. After x-rays and exams, he was diagnosed with deep bruises and a mild concussion. When I talked to him this morning, he said he was feeling a bit better. We'll have to give him lots of TLC when he arrives tomorrow.

Speaking of arriving, we were thinking that Chris and Shawn and Anara were arriving at McAllen-Miller International Airport around 8:00 p.m. tomorrow. Then I happened to notice a second calendar entry--this one for the flight from Houston to McAllen: arrival time 10:48 p.m. They will spend over three hours in the Houston airport. Not much fun, but the best schedule available. We will be delighted to see them whenever they arrive!
