We had planned to leave for Arizona yesterday but when we got up it was snowing so bad we quickly changed our plans. It snowed all day and we probably got another 5 inches of snow during the day.
Pete was working on Larry's PC so we went to pick it up Saturday afternoon. Oliver was awake and I was able to hold him and play with him for a short time. He is either eating or sleeping most of the times I've been there to see him. He does love to eat and wears Leslie out wanting to nurse often. He is such a cutie and so cuddly but I just don't get enough time to have him to myself as I am always taking a number with his father being first in line!
When we left Pete and Leslie's we went over to One World and had a sandwich before we went home. We have most of the food packed up to leave and I really didn't want to dig through boxes to try cooking a meal. I love excuses that prevent me from cooking!
We got up early this morning and found the weather to be better than we had expected. The roads appeared to be pretty clear so we decided to leave for Arizona today. They are predicting a big snow storm on Tuesday and it sounds like it is coming from the Southwest up through Texas. We decided if we could get going today we might miss the snow as it moves in.
We loaded the rest of the items into the car and took it over to the storage lot where the motor home is parked. When we got there the lot had not been plowed and we almost got the car stuck trying to get in. We decided there was no way to load the car onto the dolly with the snow so deep so decided to hook the dolly on motor home and drive over to the parking lot for the county on 116 to load. When we got there the lot was plowed nicely and we had no problems getting the car loaded.
By the time we had everything loaded to leave it was around 9:00. We drove all day and the roads were clear and we didn't have wind to contend with. We drove to Joplin, Missouri and parked for the night at Walmart. We ran the Gen Set so we had power and heat. Since it is too cold for the RV Parks to have the water on at the sites, there was no reason to pay for an RV Site for the night.
