the day after .... The Big Snow of 08'


Sunday found a day much like yesterday and the day before, yet very different. Yes there's snow ...  but for now it has stopped falling. The local paper's headline boasts that from this past Friday until now the local community here in Ohio has received 14.5 inches of snow fall. As with yesterday, both Karen and I find that our aging bodies remind us that perhaps we should have taken a few more breaks from snow removal . The property next to ours is owned by friends who live a few miles away. Karen volunteered our snow removal services to maintain this rental property for the weekend as well as our own home. Larry and Jennifer have been friends of ours since we purchased this home years ago. Larry is perhaps the handiest  man I know and is always willing to help when called. Helping to keep their drive and parking area clear is small payment for their friendship and help with home repairs over the years. Today we hope to start to put our home back together after getting new carpet in a couple of rooms on Friday morning ( just before the snow started ).
