Hi Kathy,

So we changed locations for Christmas!! It was mighty chilling in Hotlanta and traffic was really great.

We got more than 6 inches in Wilson, but nothing in Chapel Hill where mom lives. My biggest problems were getting into my driveway and up the 4 steps onto my porch. Took 4 tries to get in the driveway (oh, for 4-wheel drive) and it's only a slight hill. But our problem in Wilson is we mostly get ice. As I was shoveling the steps there was ice on top and ice pellets on the bottom.

As for my Costco visits (yes, I made 2), I bought nothing. I know you all are so ashamed of me. We packed light and I couldn't get anything small enough to bring home on my suitcase. No coconut shrimp or Santa Margharita. BTW, we went to the Dunwoody store by Home Depot. My sister-in-law did make a wine and vitamins purchase the first time and we got a wonderful hot combo pizza (only $9.95) the next time. Now I know I have to hit the Durham store sometime soon with a friend of mom's and stock up.
