Hubby talked me out of trying to go to my niece’s birthday party on Saturday. Actually, it didn’t take much talking. The weather reports said we would be getting a bunch of freezing rain starting at noon, so I was rather reluctant to go myself.

I don’t know about between here and there, but I talked to my sister-in-law on the phone and she said they didn’t get anything. And it didn’t really start here until about 4:00 or 5:00. So we probably could have gone up there with no problem.

The main thing that worries me about traveling up there in questionable weather is the lack of cell phone reception. From a few miles from my house until a few miles from my mom’s and my brother’s, there is no reception whatsoever. You could have an unlocked phone or a phone from any cellular provider around and still not get a signal. So if anything were to happen, I would have to walk to some stranger’s house to use the phone, unless some stranger stopped to help. Not good.

I hope I can get up there sometime before Christmas. I know the girls were looking forward to seeing each other, and I want to make it happen soon.
