Have a great vacation, Jo
and a very Merry Christmas.
This past Monday, I needed to go to get my allergy shot. It snowed through the night, but the driveway didn’t look too bad, so I got out my broom to sweep the snow off the car (it always looks like an igloo when it snows – it is a white Honda). Managed to get the snow off and unlocked the door. The locks weren’t frozen, but the doors were on both sides. My daughter lives 12 miles away, but it was her day off and she came in, stopping on the way to get de-icer. By the time she got here they weren’t frozen anymore! She stayed anyway and worked some more on packing for me. It will eventually get done, I guess. I don’t remember that sort of thing (frozen doors) happening in 1950 in Minnesota, but maybe it didn’t seem like such a big deal when I was young and had more vigor!
Nothing is quite as easy as it was then.
