Rose's Rescue

Well Art left a few weeks ago to go home to New York and take care of his 94 year old mom. She had hip replacement about 9 months ago and is doing great. She went through rehab and was in a care facility for a few months, but it now time to come home.

She will be moving home this Friday and I am sure Art can't wait for the company. He has been shoveling snow like crazy. Almost every day there is a new load to deal with. Just before he left, we went to Big Bear Lake to the cabin and he got a good practice run. He shoveled the walk way, AFTER we crawled though the snow to get into the house. The cabin was virtually buried, what the natural snow fall didn't accomplish the snowplows finished. The back door and deck were completely under 6 feet of snow, higher in some drifts. It took a man with a skiploader about 2 hours to uncover the small horseshoe drive. I think his biggest problem was where on earth to throw the snow he had scooped up.

Any way, Art should be able to handle snow shoveling now. Hopefully there won't be that much more.

I know that the time he will spend with his mom is invaluable. I think they will have and old movie fest and probably talk for hours. They haven't had this much time together since he was probably 18 or so. I know they will have a great time. I miss him alot but I know he is enjoying himself so it is worth it.
