Quality Neighbors

We’ve gotten 15 inches of new snow in the last two days. One of these years we will buy a four wheel drive vehicle. Until then, we are grateful for good neighbors. The school bus took the kids to school and the kindergarten bus brought Emily home, but the roads were bad enough that they didn’t bring the older kids home. If the school bus can’t make it up the hill, there is no way that our van can. After doing a 180 on the way to Emily’s class party yesterday, I was not feeling up to attempting that trip again. Thank everything for Jennie S. (and her Sequoia) for bringing Ben home. She is good neighbor #1.

After everyone was home from school, Claudy brought Korbin and Maddie over to play in the snow. The kids were so excited to get out and play in the deep snow. We made a miniature sledding hill in the backyard and the kids took turns going down. Ben and Korbin built a snow fort in the time between their turns. Abby was a trooper and was happy to just hang out and eat snow and watch the kids play. Everyone had a great time. Good neighbor(s) #2.

While we were warming up and drinking hot cocoa, our neighbor across the street came over and snowblowed the rest of our driveway (I had run out of energy after shoveling enough for Nate to get his car in). Good neighbor #3. Nice people rule!
