We are home. Back in our house and the cats were happy to see us.
We arrived to 2 to 4 foot drifts surrounding our house. A neighbor managed to get a friend to plow our driveway so we could get to the house and our cat sitter could get out which she needed to do. We’ll deal with what we need to deal with later today. Right now we are just enjoying the fact we are home as are the cats. The older guys are picking their spots around me and purring up a storm. Fig is a whirlwind of excitement right now but I bet she’ll calm down once she runs down her batteries. She has made it clear that she is happy to see us.
Overall the trip wasn’t bad. It was long but then it is a long distance between Atlanta and Long Island. The snow only really impeded our progress in Brooklyn due to roads being passable but not passable. They have about a lane and a ½ clear if that but, of course, drivers are trying to pass each other at absurd rates of speed to get that ONE car length forward. Long Island and Queens were better but you still had to use caution getting around. The plus side is that it was above freezing last night so there was very little black ice on the road.
The trip as a whole was very pleasant. It was great to see my brother, sister-in-law, and niece in the flesh rather than on the iChat. Caroline had lots of fun playing with her cousin. She also enjoyed her time with her aunt Sheila, aunt Rozana, and Uncle Sean who played with her and growled at her which she loved. I had fun talking to all of them along with some friends I always enjoy having a conversation with.
We did get home a day later but considering the conditions, it was the best move. Now we get ready for the New Year, which is going to be pretty sedate this year. Today we take the time to get the road noise out of our ears and at least one of our cars dug out so we can return the rental.
I am grateful that we got home safe and could get into our drive way.
