Well, winter is for sure here now...we got dumped on last night...probably 12 inches or so. The kids love it. Me, not so much.
I am not a huge fan of winter driving, snow shoveling, and cold weather. But, I live in Wisconsin, and I have to endure all 3 from now until March!
Thankfully, we now have a snowblower which eases the snow shoveling. It was our big purchase last year, and has defiantly paid for itself already! Dad loved snow removal. Yes, he complained about having to do it, but still did it. He did removal for others too. I remember in the recent years he did work at the condo complex he lived in, helping others with their removal. Even when he came to my house. He would be out chopping at the ice at the end of my driveway. The last time, he even wrecked our shovel doing it. Of course, Steve and I laughed, proabably me more than Steve, but Dad didn't seem to care, because it worked...the ice was gone, and now, so was the shovel. Of course, now I wished I would have saved that shovel because it would have been another concrete memory.
Well...that's about he for now. Just wanted to share another memory. Thinking of you, Dad. Now, at the moment. Thought of you today when I was removing snow.
I miss you and love you!

I fully agree about Dad and the snow Carly. I thought about him myself when I was out shoveling my own driveway.
It always saddens me to see all of these notes you write about Dad...tears fill my eyes with each one that I read. I can only imagine how hard it has to be for you, Kate, and Sam.
Always hang onto those sweet memories of Dad...and know that I feel for the 3 of you.
I miss him too.
Love you~
Mom :)
