Snow falling on Cedars and campers leaving us stranded in Bellingham

After leaving Seattle we headed north to Bellingham, WA We visited with Chuck, Karen and Elena Hoelscher. We had a good afternoon visit, went hiking, enjoyed a fresh hallibut dinner and then an enjoyable walk around their small town, Fairview. We enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere, dazzling lights and artsy stores...very quaint I'd have to say. Richard loved his kyacking trip in Puget Sound on Saturday morning. I was glad to see him come back dry and in one piece. We enjoyed some cards with Chuck at the camper on Saturday night.

We went to bed thinking we were going to head to Victoria and Vancourver Canada, but woke up to this huge snow storm. We snuggled down for a while, got bored, and decided to head to a mall a short distance from us. We have had a few problems with frozen water hose and hydrant, but we hope they're minimal. We have nixed the Vancouver trip and are heading SOUTH as soon as we dig out of the heaps of snow. I think we've seen more snow and ice than anyone back home. GRRRRRRR we're the ones suppose to be on vacation.

Mon Evening: Thanks for all the messages on the blog. We are DEFINITELY stranded here for a few more days at least. We are reading books, crocheting, watching movies and playing cribbage, so at least we are not bored yet. If no news is on the blog though consider that we have lost electricity, Internet connection or both. It is really different in a snowstorm out here as they don't have enough plows to clear roads and definitely don't use salt to clear the freeways. So we are waiting for it to warm up. If all else fails, we have thought about getting jobs at WalMart as there are not enough workers that can make it to work. LOL Do we look like greeters or stockers? Photos show how snowed in our RV Park is, Richard unthawing the door to get to our gas tanks so we could go fill them up, and beautiful cedar trees.
