Hi from Ashland, Va.    We made it 1/2 way thru Va. when the weather turned bad and we decided since we have another 5 - 6 hours ahead of us to seek refuge and get some rest.   We left Ga. at 5AM with the AC going full blast in the car and stopped in Va. at 4PM with the heat turned up to high and the seat warmers going full blast.  We have a nice hotel room and there is a Waffle house in the parking lot and a Perkins Pancake house attached to the hotel with a door through the lobby so at least we won&#39;t go hungry if we get stuck here.   We&#39;d still like to reach home tomorrow but we will see.   Ice &amp; sleet are expected to arrive here by 9PM and in Pa we are due to get at least 6 inches of snow but changing to rain in both places by noon tomorrow.   <br /><br />I&#39;m still trying to catch up but congratulations Jackie &amp; Tony on your beautiful new grandson.     Glad to hear that Candace is doing better.<br /><br />Cheryl - did you post of pic of your new hair-do.   I haven&#39;t gone thru all the posts yet but would like to see it.   Is Scotty as excited about Christmas as our grandkids are?  TJ is very Sad because the dinasaur he wants is much too big for Santa&#39;s sleigh according to his mom &amp; dad.  (Never underestimate the powers of a grandpa.   lol)<br /><br />Deb - Happy Birthday - hope you had a great day.    <br /><br />Well, time to go find some dinner in this little town.    Perkins may be fine for breakfast but I&#39;m spoiled with cruise food and need something a little more substantial.<br /><br />Is Tonia back from her trip yet?   Haven&#39;t seen any posts by her.   Anyone hear from her?
