Have a great time in Vancouver Ann - I hear they re expecting a huge dump of snow!

Somebody just banged on my door and when I checked it was a fellow with a snow shovel. So I opened the door and he wanted to know if I wanted the sidewalk shoveled - I had not gone out today. I said no thanks, there's not much there but I was sure looking for somebody to shovel my walk on a regular basis . Anyway he offered to clean the walk for $5 this evening and would clean for $10 anytime there was a snowfall, to be done by 10 in morning or within 24 hours ( city by law) . Lives a couple blocks north of me, left his name and number. Whoopee. Hope that works out. I dislike shovelling snow and actually am not supposed to so am always happy to find somebody who will do it without a monthly contrat, snow or not and costing big bucks! Of course I still have the back to do but that does not need to be rushed. I get really annoyed with people who dont clean the snow from their sidewalks, lots of people do walk around here so just because you maybe never come out your front door because you have a garage in the back lane doesnt mean nobody else uses your stretch.
OK flame suit off!
I think I will only have the 4 dogs until after Xmas, looks like somebody else can foster the new one. When it is this cold they are easy care, too cold to walk and dont want to stay out long. And 3 of them are seniors anyway.
