New York, we aren't coming!

We were up at 1:30 and got to Toledo. Got to the Train station on time, but the train didn't. The train was in Chicago and NOT coming. We sat around and got to know the rest of the "wanabe" travelers. Lenny went out and helped an old guy who was stuck in the snow/ice. A lot of people were laying around sleeping. They announced the train might leave Chicago at 5 a.m. and get to Toledo maybe around 10:30 a.m.. That would make our arrival in NY with luck about 11:30 p.m. The car rental place closes at 6 p.m. So we would have to sit in that train station until tomorrow morning when the snow, freezing rain was supposed to be under way. We decided to cash in the tickets and come home. We can fly there after the New Year. Lenny's mom had made me a cake and a blueberry pie for Lenny. They had made a big pan of Fleleshke, a Checkoslavakian dish that tastes really good. I know thats spelled wrong. They were wondering what they would do with it all. Now it is snowing here. We went to get groceries and cars were running in ditches etc. We will just stay home. I got a half ham for Christmas dinner. If the weather looks better we may go out for dinner tonight, but got a pizza. I am making a loaf of Italian bread. I should go unpack my bags. Now we know that trains are no better than planes.

Better home, than sitting somewhere else! Too bad about the cake and the pie.
Happy birthday again and Merry Christmas.
