Grill & Chill

After yesterday’s 6+ inches of snow, we’ll probably have to go to the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill rather than “grill” and “chill” on our patio. Henri never believes the weather predictions. He was even willing to bet (money) on Friday that it would not snow. Had I taken the bet, I could have been rich on Saturday morning. Henri got out the long underwear, heavy outer clothing, and a sock cap (With his sock cap, doesn’t he resemble the “pointy-haired boss” in the Dilbert comic? - click on picture above) to prepare for his maiden voyage with the Deere and snow blade. He couldn’t use the Deere for our first snowfall because he was ill, and Bogey Bernie and David got the honors then. It’s a good thing David put the chains on the Deere Friday afternoon because this was a heavy, wet snow. When Henri started blading, Bogey had already begun shoveling his driveway. After Henri finished our driveway, Bogey (click on picture left) used the Deere to finish his driveway and then cleared the driveways of two elderly (older than we!) neighbors. We want to thank all our children. The snow blade was a perfect Christmas gift. It helps us and also helps our neighbors. Now, we wish it would snow more often!
