Sibling love

I have “A Modest Proposal” for them. Nick would be more tender.

Adam has enough snack food in his office to get them through until spring, unless he eats it all in a one day panic

Betcha Adam is well supplied for such an emergency—with a cellarful of coffee!!

He might leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Is she channeling Beth from Yellowstone? Yikes, better run Clayton!

Yikes…Katy is thinking WAY TOO AHEAD.

I’m thinking, Cage Fight. Loser is BBQ.

He can’t possibly taste good. What with all that sugar and grease.

She will be a beautiful bride and an excellent wife someday….. I just know it.

She has a disjointed imagination!

She does need some help……

No, I’M basically snowed in.

Doesn’t she have SADS? Why has she been so happy in these strips?

Good thing for Clayton they stocked up before the snow hit.

“Nah. You’d be more tender.”

This one got an LOL out of me!

Dad? There’s a Mr. Donner on the phone. Wants to know if we can come to a party…

Believe me, it’s ever so much better than being snowed out.

I loved the blizzard days growing up in Wyoming. I never had any anxiety over food running out and my mom always made homemade donuts. When we could get out, drifts to the roof tops were good for climbing and tunnelling. And those were, of course, no-school days.

This is husband’s fear every announcement of snow, every year. He is terrified of being snowed in.

Last year came close – we had storms around twice a week – first storm dripped a couple of feet of heavy snow and I thought he would be going to the hospital. I had to figure it out step by step – cleared behind car and sides of same so we could back into the road (hah! not on this street – 4 lane main road – but I convinced we could). Day later used snowblower across main part of driveway (small semi-circle). Day still later cleared other end of driveway to street. Next cleared front of car (between car and RV van). Then cleared the snow around our van which sits in the semi-circle of the driveway. Took over week to do all of it – and we had 3 lanes (2 driving, one parking) of snow pushed by plows into the bottom of each side – multiple times/days. Then a week later – repeat and rest of winter was similar. We are suppose to clear the sidewalk – but if we did we would no place to put the snow we were moving as our driveway runs from one side of our small property to the other.

Right now he hears somewhere that we are to get 14 inches the end of the week and he is not doing well anticipating it. We are in our late 60s and not in the best of health – and he is made weaker by some of his meds and gets upset when I do the bulk of the clearing in fear something will happen to me (and how he will get by without me – his thought, not mine).
