LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

We have spent Christmas in the lot at the Bayliner Plant in Pipestone, Minnesota. We have all the comforts, plenty of food, water, warmth, and most importantly, my laptop with my wireless card and the satellite TV with pay per view movies.

We were able to purchase a new receiver while driving through Nebraska. If you can believe this, we parked at a truck stop, left the trailer, and then bob tailed to the mall a few miles away. Yes, you heard me right, we ventured to a mall a mere 2 days before Christmas. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. There was plenty of parking in the lot and when we walked inside the mall, hardly anyone shopping! Shocking.......... if we had been in California, we wouldn't have been able to even get near the mall with the truck, let alone find room to park, and then we would have to fight our way into the stores. Life is certainly different in Nebraska as we bought our new receiver, along with some snow boots for me, back at the truck stop and hooked up to our trailer in just 60 minutes.

So here we are in Pipestone, watching a continuous downfall of snow. We donned about 5 layers of clothing and tried to build a snowman, but the snow was too fluffy to stick together, but not so much that we couldn't take handfuls and have a snow ball fight. Sufficiently wet and cold, we got back inside the truck for warmth, and continued our Christmas movie marathon. We hope the snow doesn't keep the employees from getting to work in the morning. We are both anxious to know where we are heading next, but until then...... let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
