This is what can  happen when you travel to or from the Midwest to the west in winter!

Traveling west in March 

So Utah is where we are stuck because Wyoming has snow. 

We tried to leave Thursday, but made no sense then to go. 

For roads were slick, and weather advisories were out, 

We waited till Friday and had fun with mary and Maggie out and about. 

Friday we awoke at 4 AM and could no longer sleep. 

Gentz looked at the map and saw that our routes we couldn’t keep. 

The roads were closed in Wyoming and would let no one through. 

We wondered if we should drive south, stay here, what shall we do? 

Finally, we thought why risk it? Let’s just stay here one more day. 

Johnny and Maggie are welcoming and with Mary we can play.

Gentz went off to the gym to work out and I settled down to write . 

There are worse things than being stuck in Utah – not such a bad plight!
