Wonderful white Christmas in Newalla, Oklahoma


Timing was perfect. Robbie and Catie and Jackson Danger arrived from Lenexa, KS, the night of the 23rd, and Christmas Eve morning the 2009 Blizzard began.

Visibility dropped to less than an eighth of a mile, and snow drifted around the buildings. But, Pam and I have seen worse, having lived in North Dakota the first part of our marriage. In a way, this little blizzard sweeping through the plains of Oklahoma is somewhat of a treat. We have a house full of food and drink. The only thing missing is the last member of our little family, Daniel, who is stuck in Edmond, north of Oklahoma City. He probably will not get here until Saturday. We are expecting Linda and Tom from Tulsa then as well, so maybe then we can eat up some of this food.

Merry Christmas to all. And for pete’s sake, Oklahoma, stop dreaming of a white Christmas already.
