From Sun to Snow!!! January 20th 2009

Woke up to SNOW this morning. Against my better judgement, I didnt drive Chuy to work. Ah, I thought, the freeways will be cleared, its only a little flurry, and he has driven in rainstorms...so a little snow shouldn't be too bad. "My Bad!"~
I got a phone call around noon, that the 'Safety man from work was driving Chuy home! I guess on driving to work this am.....Chuy passed 7 cars that had inadvertently slipped, skidded, or somehow ended up in the ditch.

Chuy admitted that his drive to work this morning was a trial of all his collective inner fortitude.

He fought off thoughts like...."What am I doing here?" "I am a BEACH person...." "WHY, OH WHY DID I COME HERE?"..................

My poor husband was traumatized by the snow, the scenes of cars in accidents, and from his own inner voice of fear and doubt....... he made it to work, but come noon when the boss told the four men that showed up to work, to just go home, Chuy decidedly refused to leave, or drive again. By now, the snow had accumulated to about 3-4" and he was having none of this snow driving business.

Thankfully, Chuy has one of the nicest boss's in the entire world...(in my book.) He personally assigned the "Safety man" from the yard to personally drive Chuy home, AND pick him up in the morning......

So, it all turned out good......... Chuy is home safe and sound......... I am trying desperately to contain all snickers and teases...... (growing up in Washington, and driving the passes and being a snow skier all my life, I don't think a little snow is anything to worry about.)

Today Chuy experienced snow for the first time in his entire life........

I am trying to get him to go outside and make a Snowman, but he has the electric blanket turned on, and he wont budge from the bed.......... oh well....... Acapulco guy for ya!
