Another Day Gone By...

I find it ridiculous that I managed to somehow miss the day that carries three family birthdays... and this includes having talked to one of them this morning! Though I feel sheepish for getting caught up in life so much to forget three generation's worth of birthdays, I still want to wish you all a happy birthday! I love you all!

By the way, BYU was awesome tonight... 44-20!

Mis-Calculated, but Done!

The driveway, from road to garage in not 130' as indicated last evening. It is double that, right close to 260'. No matter, it is done. Once I got past the level portion I figured out a better way to shovel. When I got to the last half, I even improved on that. The last 40' was completed in about 22 minutes. Hard for me to not shovel side to side as you all know, but I am hoping for some warm weather and sunshine over the next two weeks. Time for some Tylenol and a hot shower.
This last picture of the sunset is to remind us all of the beauty of life and the world God created for us. Love you all, Dad

No More Pictures, yet...

I hit the drive at 07:45 and was able to get 40' done in the hour I worked. Guess I should admit that I am now only doing a path wide enough to get the car through. Church was canceled, yesterday morning but I didn't get the word. If I had not called to check on my families, I would not have known. Love you all and thank you for the concern about me being snowed in. Yes, until I had to start shoveling it was quite pleasant but also VERY lonely!

...QUIT ALREADY, Please!





OK, so at 5:00 PM it looked to be lessening and I knew I had to face the music sometime so, I bundled up and look my shovels and opened the garage doors and...

I had to think long and hard to determine if I really wanted to do this or not. I decided it would have to be done sometime . I shoveled for an hour and got 15'. It is going to be a long day tomorrow at 15' an hour on a 130' driveway!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it...




Thought I would share with you what it looks like at our home in Virginia. Yes, Virginia is considered a southern state. Just not today.

The top picture is the generator and the car. The second is from the front yard showing the shrub at the front of the house. The third is the plow, I think? And by-the-way, it is still snowing and no, I have not started shoveling.
