Stormy roads

Britt, Dave and Cooper were loaded and on the road by 6:30 am to get for Dave back to do meds and training. They ran into stormy winter roads past Bassano and took longer then planned to get safely back. In the hat as we had coffee with Grama and Papa it was only -1 and overcast but eventually started to lightly snow when Candace, Kaylin, Shaina and Jacob joined us for brunch.


By the time we left at one the winds picked up and areas of road were like sheet ice. A quick stop in Brooks for fuel and a tea (thanks Jacob) and we were safely home around 3:30. The roads were terrible from Bassano till almost home, good that it was just windy with some blowing as the "kids" unloaded and loaded in Jacob's truck and were off for home. Kaylin has to work at 5 in Cochrane.


the road as it increasingly got worse

Lola was glad we were home. She stayed out all night with -15 and crazy wind chills that rolled in after Sharon fed her supper. She did run over and let her in this morning after seeing the weather change. S hit the big brown for a relax after his white knuckle drive for a bit then went out to roll a bale for the starving frozen horses.
thanks Grama for the care package, cabbage rolls were the perfect supper

Once back in, he started a fire and watched hockey. I caught up on marketing and blog stuff then hit the tub to try and soak away the cold that is moving in. I started a new Netflix series called Instant Hotel curled up in bed. I watched 3 episodes of the Australian based Airbnb challenge.
