yesterday and today

Yesterday was quite the day. We had a quick trip planned to another part of town, and within minutes of being on the road our plans were shattered. One of the ramps adjoining major interstates here in Memphis was closed and traffic was being re-routed. I have never seen so many police cars, ambulances, and firetrucks at one scene. All in all, a drive that normally takes 20 minutes, took over an hour. This morning, I got online and found out that the mess was caused when a tractor trailer carrying 6,000 pounds of fuel overturned. The clean-up took 15 hours, and sadly, the driver of the truck was killed.

Today is a little more quiet. We are planning an in-house family photo shoot for today, and with the temperature supposedly topping off around 70, we will probably also take a walk by the river. And to think that only 4 days ago there was 4 inches of snow on the ground. Welcome, springtime!
