Day 13 / Post 12 Well the schedule post didn't work, so we are back to posting one blog a day. I found another neat nature picture of Oklahoma snow going through my hard drive. This one was taken by GG and comes with its own ''Special'' story.
While we were in Oklahoma, we went out to see 3 of GG's brothers. Now being that they all own/work farms this is not a small task. The trip took over 2 hours of just drive time.
The story begins when we left the 3rd brothers house heading back to Great Grandmas. I was in our van with Christi and the boys following GG driving alone in her van. All of a sudden, GG saw this tree on the side of the road and instantly decided that she needed to take this picture!
Now, before we continue this story, let’s cover some important additional information:
- First of all, just like the tree and ground in the photo, the roads are also covered in snow and ice.
- Next, remember that I am from South Texas and I can count on one hand the number of times it has snowed in Houston. So you can imagine my overall snow driving skills.
Anyway, GG hits the breaks, rolls down her window, and sticks the camera outside of the van to take this picture. All of this happening while my snow driving skills, again perfected in South Texas, are sending us sliding straight at her without any control. Luckily we were going up a hill at the time and not traveling fast enough to actually collide. GG snaps this photo, looks over at us now stopped beside her, waves and drives off.
True Story! Hope you also like the photo...
