I'm with you about not wanting to drive in the mountains on snow and ice covered roads. Scary. In the winter, I would just as soon stay at home here in North Carolina. I once lived in Nebraska for a year and I had enough of winter weather there.<br />Thank you so much for dropping by my blog, Marybelle. I really appreciate it.Sarah J.

I called him from down the hill before my appointment, he still said no problem. On the way home I got stopped by the highway patrol. It was a white out and only people with good tires and 4WD were let through. Our driveway is steep with a sharp turn at the bottom. I was so scared, my knees would not hold me up to get into the house. Yes, hubby is still alive, but NEVER again do I leave on my own if there is even one snowflake. Hubby grew up in northern Wisconsin so snow is no biggie to him. It is sure pretty, though. :)Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-55911308300531914662011-11-20T21:23:30.083-06:002011-11-20T21:23:30.083-06:00So Paisley, do you ever have to manuver ice and sn...So Paisley, do you ever have to manuver ice and snow covered roads going up and down those mountains in winter? That would terrify me. I would just stay in my house until spring. LOL It has to be beautiful there though.Sarah J.

And, yes, there is the snow. We are at 3500 feet and do get an accumulation of about 3 to 4 feet at a time if my hubby doesn't keep the drive clear with his snow thrower. The vista is when we are driving up the hill and can see the mountains around Lake Tahoe.

She loved it there.<br />That picture of Wyoming reminds me of this series that was on TV last year, The Last American Cowboy. Those cowboys (and cowgirls, too) went out in horrible weather in the dead of winter checking on cattle. What a tough job that must be. I am not much of a winter girl either.<br />Thanks for coming by, Jacquie.Sarah J.

I can just imagine you writing by a huge picture window peering down at the mountain vista--what inspiration. The only thing that would be a drawback is winter.<br />I am so happy you dropped by today and left such a lovely comment. I hope you do get around to reading Harmonica Joe's story. The next book in the series will be out soon--For Love of Banjo. I wouldn't want you to get behind. <br />Thanks again for visiting me here.Sarah J.

Have been hearing about it and it sounds like the perfect story for me. :) <br /><br />As for the picture, my toes are cold. I prefer Wyoming (and just about anwhere else) in the summer. LOL. (Tropical girl at heart) You should come out to Seattle and visit. Wouldn't that be fun? :) (In the summer, when it's not raining.)Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-26786602743939293042011-11-20T15:13:53.727-06:002011-11-20T15:13:53.727-06:00Glad to have you visit with us today, Sarah.

I'm thinking about that picture window looking out on a Wyoming winter. Very nice--as long as I don't have to go outside.<br />I love time travel stories, too.
