meals (12.20)

it stopped snowing sometime during the night. we had about 18-20 inches on the ground in the morning and the sun was shining.

breakfast

bacon and cheese sandwich
banana
coffee
iced tea

we started digging the snow at about 10:00. the snow up against the garage was about 24 in. high. It took a little over two hours to get the car out of the garage. We were getting cold at that point and went in for a break.

lunch

tomato soup
crackers
cashews. pecans
iced tea
coke

we went back out to dig at about two. a neighbor with a snow plow plowed our driveway from the street to the bridge. that saved us at least an hour. Jeff, from next door, then helped finish off the driveway. Those helping hands were real life savers. we were certainly flagging when they arrived. We were clear from the garage to the street by about 4:00.

snack

pretzels
iced tea

dinner

potato soup
bread and butter
iced tea

in bed with an aching back by about 9:00
