We had our weekend all planned out. This would be a good weekend for a trip to Columbia.....a visit with Al's parents, a chance to get away from the snow, my first trip anywhere since pre-surgery, a change of pace before life gets back to "normal" as I begin to resume some of my activities. We were particularly excited about the getting away from the snow part.

Then we found out that Al would need to go over to Hickory this morning for a meeting. That's about an hour and a half drive each way, plus the meeting time. So that delays our departure. Plus, we have to make a little trip to Johnson City, TN before we can go in the direction of Columbia, SC. More delay.

And now I find out that Columbia is expecting snow this evening! Columbia, where it almost never snows, is going to have snow on the one weekend we are planning a trip there. So much for getting away from the snow!

Sometimes life just doesn't make sense.
