cheers for my wonder spouse

 My west coast brother informed me that today is "Spouse's Day." This is very appropriate because I am so ready to celebrate my spouse and all his hard work today.

We received 8.7 inches of snow over the weekend, a record for the date in our area.  By 8:00am this morning a snow plow had come through and cleared our cul-de-sac.  By 8:05am my spouse was dressed in many warm layers and ready to brave the elements (it was 10 degrees outside) with his trusty snow blower, which he had remembered to fill with gas earlier this winter.  One of his layers was ski pants that he has had for over 40 years (he bought them in Austria) and can still get into.  Hooray for him. 

First he cleared the driveway, then came in to warm up and drink sone coffee.  He said his thumbs were cold.  I made the coffee.  Wasn't I a good spouse?

Then he did the sidewalk.  He did admit to using a shovel to clean off the front porch.  The snow plow, while very powerful, doesn't do steps.

Now it's evening and he is on his way to pick up the pizzas he ordered for our supper.  Am I spoiled?  No doubt about it.  Do I appreciate all that my wonder spouse does?  You have no idea how much.
