We were enjoying spending time together. Ninsi and I have been emailing since we found out that she was coming here to live. We became fast friends over ice-skating and hiking. We both love to do those things. ~ Today ~ Tuesday 18, 2022 ~
Both of us love our outfits and cannot wait for the competitions for 2022 to start up again. We will be so excited to spend time on the ice practicing. We homeschool at the rink and practice throughout the day that way. It works great.
When I get home, I will get to go down to the skate rink when I get settled. I will practice there and get some photos of me skating and then some with the time arch. So, I will have a good photo of me for my blog photo. I cannot wait to try my new skate outfit on and then I can get dressed and spend time on the ice pond in my practice skates. You do not wear good ones on the pond. I am almost home; I will write tonight when I get there and settle in a bit. I cannot wait to see Zalika and my things. I shall fill you all in about being home then. I Have Arrived Home!!
I am going to head off to spend time with my new family. Watch for more fun tomorrow I want to go skate with Charlotte at the pond tomorrow, so it should be fun.
I cannot believe it but they think sometime tonight they are going to move off the mountain and into La Grande, then we will go on to Elgin in the morning. The tracks are being cleared off tonight, but it was all hands-on deck to get us moving off the mountain. So tonight, they clear tracks and tomorrow I arrive in Elgin. That is the plan tonight and I will believe it when I get off the train and into TA;s home with the girls. I cannot believe that I am almost home after 18 days on a train. At least we were not this buried, and it took four days to dig out so they could find a way out. I am glad that our avalanche did not bury us at all. In 1952 on the donner mountain trail this train was caught in a snowstorm and avalanche. Crazy!! Well, I am off to eat dinner and curl up and listen to my book and color. I did finish two-page spread last night finally. I think it turned out cute. These are a lot of work shading and things, but so much fun to do.
Hopfully will write one last post for arriving home tomorrow . It looks like I will be sitting in the train, for two days, just an hour from home. TA would come get me, but no such luck. I just want to be home; the adventure is over, and I am still stuck. Now to just wait. I am in my compartment alone, waiting for FedEx to decide to deliver me. This is so frustrating. That does not look very bad, but we cannot drive over it, so we wait. I might make it home in time for Valentine's Day, if I am lucky. This has been the craziest trip I have ever taken. LOL!! I am NOT normally a complaining person, but I sure would like to just complain away at this time. I just am so tired of being alone it will be so good to get to my new home and have people around me. I am social and busy, and this traveling alone is awful. I am going to take off now and see what I can do tonight. I think I will do another round of Mousersize and then finish my page in my color book before bed. I will write tomorrow as I will be just sitting here waiting to move again. LOL!!
Have you ever had a trip with so much bad luck?? This one has sure been lasting a long time and being a bad trip. I am just so ready to get home. I will not want to take a train alone ever again. It would not be bad if I was not alone. It would be a lot of fun with someone to share it with. It is sunny and beautiful today, but oh that wind chill is great. I was out for a little while at our last stop before we broke down, The air is frigid but looks beautiful.
I am not in the mood to talk today I will write more tomorrow if we make it home or later today if they get us going again. Mama says as soon as I get home and my material gets home, we can go to Jo's and see if she has the flannel I want. She has some stuff that mama wants to get for the Ivy cape too. So, we will check out Jo;s Fabric's first. It is close enough and safer for going into for fabric. It feels good to be on the downhill side of the trip home. I know that soon I will be pulling into the train station that is two blocks from my home. Then it will be so fun to get together with my new family and life.
I have my own tablet so it will be easy to post and keep track of the contest. The winner got something really nice for making it all 52 weeks. We would not want Gwynn, so we were not sad that we did not win. It was just fun doing it the girls said. This will be my first one. I feel great after getting out again for some snow time. Being stuck on the train this whole trip has been hard. I see snow and cannot be out in it. I need time outdoors. LOL!! What do you like to do outdoors during the winter? We play hockey, ice-skate, ski, snowboard, sled, snowshoe, dog sled, and anything else we can think of. It is so much fun. Cannot forget SNOWBALL FIGHTS!!
out and played with her for a while. We built another small snowman again and it was time to get back on the train. I will sleep well tonight after being in the fresh air for a while. I cannot wait to get home and be loved and have friends to spend time with. To skate again. I have to take some conditioning training and basic skating to assess where I am in the lessons and where I need to start work for competing.
I shall keep you posted; they are not showing a delivery day for me yet. I am a pending traveler on this train. So, we wait.
It is 8 times our weight each time we land a jump and now it is frozen good, but she does not want us used to doing jumps and then get to doing them and hit a soft spot. That would be really cold.
Kaylee was having a blast laughing and falling. It was great to watch her learn to balance and skate. LOL!! She can do all kinds of trick riding, so balance should be easy. We are really going to love spending time out on the ice this winter. It is a wonderful place to fish in the summer and do kayaking too. Just try not to get too wet with pond water. LOL!!
