A bright spot

I was re-reading my last post and thought I should add one footnote. Despite the major winter storms that hit the area while we were gone, when we came home last night there wasn't a spec of snow on the driveway. I don't know who shoveled our walks and driveway while we were gone, but I'm really grateful. It meant that we could carry our sleeping kids into the house last night without trudging through a foot of snow. It meant we could actually pull the van up our steep, north facing driveway when we finally made it home.

So many, many thanks. It's nice to know that someone was thinking of us.
