Gee, it's winter here. We have tons of snow and I've shoveled the driveway and around the mail box 4 times in the past 1½ days. In fact, I shoveled the end of the driveway twice this morning.

Tomorrow I will start cleaning the house. It is something I hate, but I am doing it for something I love. You see, my darling daughter is coming for a visit. She arrives on Wednesday and will stay for 5 days. I'm very happy about that!
