Will Shovel for Coffee …
Posted by Rick - 06/12/03 at 11:12:44 am
Last year we got a ton of snow, and believe me, we enjoyed it. But I still remember saying to Sarah that it would be the last time we would be able to stand by and watch other people shovel it for us.
So last night while we cuddled up in front of the fire, I couldn’t help but think about the snow I was going to have to move the next day. It didn’t worry me, and it certainly didn’t keep me from enjoying our first fire, but it was at the back of my mind.
Luckily, we bought a house that doesn’t have much of a walkway—and no driveway at all, yet—so it wasn’t too much effort to shovel our walk and the sidewalk in front of the house. In fact, it was so easy, I shoveled our next door neighbor’s walk as well.
My reward? Not that I needed one, but Sarah had delicious pancakes and coffee waiting for me.

You may not have needed a reward, but you certainly deserved one! Plus, you won the “best neighbor ever” award!

Cute house - it sounded like such a “Christmasy” night and morning! It’s hard to get in the spirit out here!!

I didn’t even have to shovel my walk-there was so little snow here in the city. We caught a real break this time!
