I thought this was an interesting take on the theme.
We had a snowstorm this past Tuesday the day after the long Family Day weekend. The weekend itself was fine wouldn't you know it. Our neighbour came over while husband M and I were shovelling and told us we should use our snowblower as we are not getting any younger. He is right, he said it just takes one stroke or something similar and that's it. He has a small nifty Toro snowblower and he promptly came over and shovelled our driveway with it! My stress level went way down, as there were lots of other things to do that day. He likes us for some reason. We will have to return the favour. I will often just shovel his sidewalk when I'm out there.
The next day Wednesday it was a 'balmy' 4C and sunny, the snow started to melt a bit. I met a friend at the gym who told me her husband broke his wrist over Christmas. He had climbed up a ladder to hang Christmas lights. They are in their sixties and nobody asked him to hang any lights. It's a guy thing you know, they have to do what they have to do. I also recommended they get a snowblower for the reasons I outlined above and she agreed. Oh she said the hospital was full of people with similar accidents at that time. A lot of people hurt themselves falling on the ice.
Well these are my stories for today!
