Why I love my fellow man
So, I get up this morning and it's snowed...
...which wasn't a big surprise because it was snowing last night. But anyway, I have breakfast and figure out where my boots are and go outside to shovel (and don't think about that other house, that's on the corner).
And as I'm just getting started, ny neighbor from across the street who I haven't met before comes over and says, 'You know, I have nothing to do and I would love to snow blow your sidewalk and your driveway.'
And who am I to argue with that.
So, I finish shoveling the back walk and sweep the front and back steps and let the dogs out and in. Then, I come back inside and take off boots and snow pants and have second breakfast. And I am sitting on the couch definitely not thinking about the fact that I own two houses and, really, I should do something about that other one (did I mention it's on a corner?), when one of the people I work with calls and says, "I was just driving around with my snow blower and wondered if you needed any sidewalks cleared.' (no really that's pretty much what he said).
So now all my sidewalks are done!!! Yay, me!
