GIRLS
OK - they are NOT in Gillette. They are in Casper...which makes more sense as far as the route to HERE. They are at a Red Cross shelter and will be there overnight. They are troopers. You could hear "adults!!!" complaining and grumbling "Ah man - there's nothing wrong with the roads". Bre said, "they should all just suck it up."
ANYWAY - Greyhound is feeding them tonight, they have showers and cots and will be there until at least 3:30 p.m. TOMORROW....I'm not sure why they aren't leaving earlier but there you have it. The will hopefully be in sometime on Saturday - meaning they are missing their Sat a.m./p.m. appointments. I'm thinking there is a REASON that we are not meant to get a "sisters" photo taken....this happened last year too. ::sigh:: ::snort::
Bre said she and Krista had decided how much craziness they will put up with before they call our denomination's church. They know a fellow Master's student who is from Casper and are going to give a call and see if he is home for Christmas (now lives in CA). If so, he'll most likely come get them and take them out of the shelter for a bit of time. They plan to study.
They said the roads have been beautiful all day....frozen but not blizzard conditions... which is why folks are having a hard time understanding that the highways are closed. It seems some of the more delusional among the travelers are sure that Greyhound is involved in a plot to ruin Christmas. ::snort::
ARGH - blogger isn't doing pictures again....

OK De'Etta,
Are you upset w/me for suggesting Greyhound? :0
In all my year's riding, I recall some weather delays, but never being put up in a shelter.
Good thing you've raised them resilient!
I think I'd rather be stuck in a shelter than sitting in an airport someplace...seems like the bus was a good idea.
Praying the girls can get on their way safely and soon.
Darshia the bus was a great idea! I much prefer them in a shelter getting food and a cot than in an airport for 3 - 5 days as I'm hearing others are.....
I think they stand a much better chance of arriving by Christmas on greyhound than flying through Denver - which they would have been doing.
I'm thankful they are on the bus. We are sad they aren't going to be here in 20 hours....but that's o.k. We'll have less time but we'll make it count....and I heard two different people talking today about their loved ones trying to find flights out of Denver....this is much nicer...GH is working hard to get folks where they are supposed to be.....the bus is the bus....I mean when it can go - they all pick up and go...once you miss a flight there's all that juggling to find a new one....
I'm so glad they are NOT flying. Their friend is still stuck in Spokane....
Thanks De'Etta for helping me see the glass half full...You're right, GH is taking good care of them. It's an adventure!
SIS: WELL, think I had better start scrolling down to the last entry I have read of yours and reading up so I don't get things all crazy. :):):)
All the more reason to be proud on you/Mike and your kids........ what a special bunch who can think for themselves and "suck it up" as Bre said.
Your kids are awesome and showing that you have done a good job etc.
Love/Prayers
