Drive Home

The drive home was the type of drive that Ken and I are getting used to whenever we go to Chicago.

We left Chicago in the rain, by the time we hit the Illinois/Wisconsin border we had driven thru a couple heavy downpours. Shortly after getting into Wisconsin it started freezing rain, then went to sleet, and finally snow. By the time we were in Madison it was snowing pretty good. Drove in snow from Madison, thru the Dells and into Tomah. Since we had left Brian's late morning we thought we would stop and see Aunt Therese in Tomah. When we got out of the car at her place there was 4-6 inches of snow on the ground. We stayed and visited with her for about an hour (maybe a little longer). The roads from her place to I 90 were still snow covered, but when we got to I 90 it was clear and smooth sailing. That was a relief after seeing atleast 6 cars in the ditches.

When I would get tired of watching the snow and counting cars in the ditch, I would start knitting. I have been finding that is a good way to pass time in the car. This green knitting is a sweater for Dakota.
