The Shovel Work

Got the boys up for school this morning and found myself throwing on my snow boots and a hoodie and then heading outside to shovel some snow.  It was only a couple inches deep and was very light.  I got the drive and the sidewalks done down the street and half way around the block.  I also shoveled the drive for Tammy next door.  I am sure passers by had a good laugh as I was in my shorts with the boots on looking pretty ridiculous. Oh well, fashion statement aside, it was good to get out and shovel.  I enjoy that work. 

Had a busy day getting things prepped at Brick for a large group upstairs tonight.  Also got Jack squared away for his Civil Air Patrol camp out tonight.  He was excited to go.  I got him there just after 4 and there wasn't a soul around.  I pulled up the info on the interweb again and realized that it didn't start until 6. I thought it was a 24 hour thing and new he was getting out at 4 tomorrow so I assumed it started at 4 today.  Well, we had a good laugh that he was there 2 hours early.  We headed to a couple of stores and then over to the Brick House where I prepped veggies for the upstairs group. There were several things to work on in preparation and everything came together fairly well.  There were a couple of little problems but we got through them just fine.  All and all the entire evening went pretty smooth and I think people were happy. 

I did slip out to take Jack to his camp out.  He was excited to go.  I took something out to the car around 9 and found that his water bottle had fallen out of his backpack and was sitting in the back of the car.  I drove it over to him after finishing up at the Brick. Looked like he was having a good time.  Happy he enjoys the C.A.P.  He is supposed to get to fly tomorrow.  I am a excited to hear his report. 

Natty was home sick today.  Glad it was today and not yesterday.  No fun. Everything else seemed to go quite well today.
