Here is an idea for the season!

We are grateful to those who look after us. Our newspaper man who delivers in the dark wee hours; the mail carriers who risk life and limb on a busy highway to pop the mail into our mailbox; the UPS dude, with the cool shades, who wends his way along our 100m driveway and backs up to get back onto the highway!

I couldn't sleep one night, and I was up at 5:30 when our newspaper man drove up to put the newspaper in the mailbox. I scared him terribly! He also drives a school bus in the daytime.

It is an icy day today, freezing rain last night, and the driveway is a skating rink.
I skated up the drive, then down the hill, sliding towards the highway, skidding to a stop.
The highway is cleared, thankfully.

We bought some grocery store gift cards for the people who give us service. I wrote a poem, then popped them in an envelope in the mailbox!
The snow has melted, but you get the idea!
