The Big Snow




We were delighted to wake up to about 8 inches of snow this morning. We were glad that it didn't come yesterday as predicted so that we had no problem getting up to the Curtis' for Brad's ordination.

Grandpa went out and cranked up his trusty snowblower and was plowing out the driveway when Nate Beck called and said that he would be there in ten minutes to help.

Grandpa was grateful for the help especially since he has a couple of home teaching families that he usually plows out. It was amazing to see Nate work. What energy! He was half way down the street, plowing all the neighbors out before Grandpa could catch up to him!

Everything worked out great. As soon as all the walks and driveway were finished the city snowplow came by and filled up the driveway into the street so Nate was able to help shovel that out again!

I was busy inside making a pot of Taco soup for the shovelers when they finished. It was good to have Nate with us for a while. We do love our Wilfardos!

This was a great day! It was also the day that I found out that Grandpa is the greatest home teacher that I have ever met. And the soup after would have made made Chef Boyardee jealous. Thanks again!
