Left home shortly after 8a today, heavy snow coming down. Got home about 30 minutes ago to find my sidewalk, driveway and steps shoveled clear! I had about 5 inches of new snow from today’s dumping. My cardiologist keeps warning me to put off my shoveling snow-especially the wet heavy stuff-during the first 12-24 hours providing the sun comes out.

My younger son was going to come over to do it but he?s sick. I need to find out which of my great neighbors was kind enough to do this for me. I?ve been thinking about moving lately-my house, while not large by any means, is bigger than I need. One of the things holding me back has been the great friends we?ve all become.

Truly thankful.
