It is breath taking looking out my windows.... everything is heavily coated in white..... it's beautiful, peaceful and quiet.... Tom's still sleeping and the girls finally settled in for a morning nap.
This is my moment before "OUR DAY" begins..... I thank God for all our blessings, I pray for patience and wisdom and for Tom to have a good day and I wait to hear that sweet little voice coming from the bedroom "M O M ?" alerting me he is awake..... the girls spring to their feet and go greet him with morning kisses.....
I trail behind with his coffee and hand him the telephone...... he usually calls his sister Susie upon waking..... I wait ........ "What's up for the day?" That's my cue he is awake and READY to converse....... To speak before then can start the day off bad as all he hears is you making a lot of noise and NOT making any sense.
We've been getting a lot of snow these days.... Tom's 4-wheeler isn't able to do the job this year. This stresses him out because he can't see how we will survive..... WHO & HOW will we keep our place open this winter?????
A friend has been plowing us for now and the county comes in for a small fee to widen and open the driveway..... I'm already on it to find someone to plow on a regular bases the rest of the winter.

BUT Tom's mind won't move past the idea he has to plow with the 4-wheeler..... I tell him NOT to plow and make big piles where I have to snow blow..... but he does anyway.
Yesterday I chose to laugh at all the big piles I had to walk my little snow blower through..... It took me 4 1/2 hours going steady to do my paths and the mess he made which needed to be done before the temps dropped as it was all wet.He sat in the house and watched me..... when I came in at 2:30 he was all smiles and happy with the job I had done. "Didn't take you very long either"........ lol There goes that concept of time.
He announced he was hungry..... I cooked up some grub and we ate.... Okay your going to love this part...... "I'm going to go help Norm snow blow his driveway"........ he says..... "That's nice of you to help him." I replied and chuckled to myself.
Now Norm is in his 70's..... he has 2 long driveways to clear. He HAD a plow for his truck for years but it bit the dust.... so instead of buying a new plow which he CAN afford he bought a really BIG snow blower. I seen him in action last year with the NEW SNOW BLOWER and it was useless.
Well I think Tom seen an opportunity to run the BIG BAD BOY..... He was soon home and said it was a worthless piece of junk. I laughed as I told him it was but he thought it was just Ol' Norm trying to run something bigger than him...... Tom is all about size when it comes to anything that falls under the category of "equipment"
So the day ended with Tom proclaiming that I have the BEST snow blower on the market and I did such a good job that he will not push up all those piles again and just let me go out and do the job.
WE"LL SEE! ((grin))
