This morning we woke up to this scene. Enough snow to shovel (look, my yooper friends, I can't see the grass!) and the neighbors shoveling it out of our driveway. Besides Bill there with his blower, there were two others with shovels going right up to my front door.
And here I am, 1/2 hour later, still in my pj's all nice and cozy, sipping my coffee. Ah, it's the good life.
The truth is though, I actually enjoy shoveling and was planning to do it in my own time, but I won't complain about the neighbors doing it. *laugh* I've said it before and I'll say it again - we live on a great street. While *our* plan was to move out of this starter home 8 years ago already - the neighbors have made it a great place to stay.
If you take a closer look, and I know some of you have already noticed, Bill only has one arm. His left sleeve is tucked into his pocket. He lost it in an accident over 20 years ago already and he's been a great inspiration to us and our children.
It's a great street.
My neighbors also know that I'm single parenting again, for the fifth time this year, so they keep an eye out for me and make my husband's out of town work trips just that much easier - on both of us.

Greg made it to Chicago safe and sound this weekend. The roads were a little slicker than the past two weekends, and he'll come home tomorrow when his shift ends at 2 or Monday, depending on the weather. He's cautious, smart, and a good driver.

Got a lazy start with paanukakku breakfast. I took the boys to the museum at the National Park Headquarters, then had lunch. Now we're heading out in the blustery cold for a visit to Cypress Manor.

On second thought, maybe we'll just stay inside and look out at the wintery conditions today.
