Operation snow 2008

We just shoveled 3/4ths of the driveway! Mr Lesaro, Ma Hill and me....hard work. My fingers are freezing, but at least the rental car is now at the top of the drive. 3 hours. Three hours. I'm now in the process of thawing. Ma Hill and I did our share of goofing around, and I of course, bossed mom and gavin around, trying to get them to try different methods, until we found the "fast" way of manually clearing snow. (sorry for being so bossy Ma Hill and Mr Lesaro, its unfortunately part of my nature to manage). Tarps are not an easy way to make a sled by the way, as mom and I tried, and got virtually nowhere, though it was very funny! The other problem we came in contact with was water streaming from an outside shed along the side of the house. It was trickling down into my mothers patio, off of her flat. Well, needless to say we now have no water, at least until Mr Landlord buys a valve. In the meantime we are thinking about taking a venture to oak harbor. I'm looking forward to it. Mr Lesaro and I both are having massive cabin fever, after 3 days stuck at home.
