'Twas the Night Before

'Twas the night before leaving
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even my spouse...

I had great intentions of completing this poem, but as usual we were sidelined by numerous last minute details and visits with friends. Nevertheless, we were able to get on the road to "warmer winters" before 9:00am. At times it appeared that Maggie was the only one ready to go.

The weather was cold in Eatonia [-19] and it was cold in Great Falls [-14] when we stopped for the night. No sunshine yet, but no wind either - that's a fair trade.

The crossing at Coutts was a little busy, but we got through without a search. My secret wine stash remains safe!

Don't forget to remove the wine from its secret stash overnight to prevent freezing...
