Abby, who is the designated shoveler with all the menfolk go on holiday? Don't tell me! OK tell me! I hope its NOTHING but not you. Feel a NOTHING screw upcoming shortly.
How nice of you to be concerned, but I thought you and K were on call should I need assistance

Actually it would be me if it wasn't too deep. I've got lots of experience, and although I haven't had to shovel in a long time, I often enjoyed doing it when I did. Years back when our son was small I always did it. In fact, most of the women in our neighborhood took care of business like that because we were all home and our husbands worked long hours. Funny thing about that though, years later when the husbands took over the job suddenly they all had to go out and get snow blowers. What the heck?!?

But no worries, I've got a couple guys I can call on in the neighborhood. Same thing if hubby is away for any reason in the summer months, I've got a couple friends of his I can call on to mow the lawn. I put my foot down years ago and NOTHING but retired from those 2 jobs. My new motto is "call the man" - lol
