Let's Hear It For My Wonderful Husband!

It's snowing like crap up here, and my husband has been clearing nice paths for me to get from the sidewalk to the bus stop. Our sidewalks are plowed, but unfortunately the plow leaves two big drifts on the side, big enough that I can not climb over them to get to the bus stop on the side of the road. Walker has been going up there and shoveling 4 foot paths in the drifts (I have a hard time putting one foot infront of the other to walk) and making sure that there are no big road drifts where the busses stop. that's wonderful, because I've nearly gotten sucked into those stupid drifts trying to get off the busses, in past years.

This isn't even "our" building, we rent an apt from two nice people here in town. They do their share of snow-clearing too, but they don't live in this building, so they can't be here all the time.

WOOHOO, everyone. Let's hear it for Walker and his amazing snow shovel.

LOL M.C. Certainly not my husband, as he's 3 years OLDER than my Daddy! LOL :) ROFLMAO. A 10 for your comment!

That's great Leah.

We are only getting rain here.

Yeah for him...not too many take on things like that any more unless they are forced to....you are very fortunate...
Rae M. Jan 28, 2009, 2:58pm UTC
Yeah! What a nice husband.

What a great guy! Makes me proud. *smile*

A good husband is the greatest of treasures. Shoveling snow is awfully hard work, and very hard on the heart, and fatiguing. What are you going to do to show your great appreciation? He deserves something really good! (You might start with a serious shoulder and back massage...)

THEY DO THAT HERE TOO,

One of these days I'm going to get a photo of the sidewalk plows they use here. They're a neat contraption that looks like a Bobcat (tow motor) with a "V" blade on front. Just wide enough for the sidewalks.

The city has the roads and sidewalks cleared by 7:30, but yesterday it kept snowing all day.

Guelph is very good and concientious about snow removal. When I lived in Wilkes-Barre, their attitude was "God put it there, it's his problem."

He sure is a keeper. I wonder though....is he missing the Arizona weather a bit?

and does this mean that the Czech cabbies won't carry you to the door anymore?
