The door bell rings and there stands three little girls (12/13 Years old I guess) "would you like your driveway shoveled" for $20.00". You bet. A couple of minutes later I raised the garage door to see how they were doing.

I begin laughing----three little girls and one small snow shovel between the three. I had two snow shovels in the garage which soon were in the girls hands. They did a great job---earning $20.00 and a tip----plus some of my wife's extra special hot chocolate. Only in America! My glass Had been filled and runneth over.
JustJim, that is a great story, and you just filled my half-full glass to the top!
