on the way out the back door this morning I stepped into six inches of freshly fallen snow…

as I struggled to get the car out of the garage and down the driveway I made up my mind that if it got stuck I would just call a cab… thankfully I made it out onto the street, and safely to work…

I texted my son-in-law, who had just been here yesterday shovelling, to see if he could come and snowblow… offered dinner as a bribe, and it worked… everyone arrived about 5:30, which gave me time for half an hour of Olympics…

when I arrived home and walked up the front I took a picture of how deep the snow was… those were the footprints of my construction fella who had been by earlier in the day…

sidewalk and front steps…

Crystal got here first and shovelled the front steps and sidewalk in about three minutes flat…  oh to be young… I didn’t lift a shovel because of my back, which is feeling much better – and which I want to keep that way, lol…

Crystal shovelling…

all the boys arrived and the two biggest ones got to work cleaning up all the snow… while they were busy, we ordered Chinese food for dinner…

had a lovely visit with everyone and heard all about each person’s day… Gray spoke about Grandpa a bit, which is fairly unusual, as I don’t think he really remembers that much as he was so little when George died…

it was good to spend the time with them this Valentine’s eve…
