Minnesota Snowstorm

December 1st, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, we got hit with a winter blizzard. As we did our last minute preparations for our trip to sunny Brazil, the winds blew in with a magnificent yet brutally shocking blast of cold and snow.

Patricia and I dashed all over town trying to get our tasks done. As harsh as the wind and snowflakes lashed against our faces, there is still a lot of joy and beauty in a fresh winter snowstorm. We drove slowly. We failed to make our appointed times but still enjoyed the white powdery blanket. Patricia kept her beautiful smile no matter how biting the cold. I love her for her unrelenting happiness or, at least, putting on a good face.

With a 50 degree point spread in temperature, I think it is safe to say we are looking forward to summer again once we step on the ground in sunny Brazil! Yappy, ya-hoe I yah!
