Today was all about snow! It took me all day to clean off my decks, sidewalks, and the driveway. There is a little section up front – about half of the spare parking space – that I didn’t finish. The snow plow throws the frozen ice/snow mix onto the driveway and it’s very hard to clear off. I’ll save that for tomorrow or Wednesday, providing we don’t get dumped on again.
I spent almost two hours outside before lunch and was able to clear the hill, from the bottom corner of the house up to the double space at the top. I went inside and warmed up and worked on a pot of vegetable soup, which I let simmer all afternoon.
I went back outside and finished the upper driveway and the bottom double section and spread salt. Had to do the back walkway a second time. Glad that it’s done, for now. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. I already had a quote picked out for today, but I’ll include another one here: I’ve been ‘mostly dead’ all day. I’m sure almost everyone knows that is from The Princess Bride!
I’m glad it said Winter Welcome and not Welcome, Winter!
There were 3 neighbor guys outside cleaning their driveways. Thought maybe one would pop over and help. Nope! But that’s OK – I’m like the Little Red Hen – I’ll do it myself!!!
January 17th – Tell a fond memory of your Grandma. “My Grandma Eakman had a gold satin dress made for her by my mother to wear for her & Grandpap’s 50th anniversary. She wore it to my wedding when I married your father. Grandma Crooks was always ready to listen to my problems & help me to know what to do about them. When she was getting old & unsteady on her feet we loved to help her walk places around the house & yard.”
Calendar inspiration for today is to have fun; join a conversation, share an activity. Find fun every day!
Yesterday’s vacation destination was the Grand Canyon, and the photo posted was the Grand Circle. Other exciting things about the Grand Canyon are Helicopter tours, Sunset views, off road safari, Sedona, Railway adventure package.

TOMORROW January 18th is:
I think for me it will be ‘go to work’ day. It certainly didn’t feel like a day off today, what with shoveling and cleaning outside, doing laundry, and making a huge pot of soup! I need to go to work to get some down time! God bless…
