Surprised by Grace!

Well it happened again today.  Out of the blue.  Surprised by grace!!!

We had a fairly heavy snowfall overnight.  The roads were covered and slippery.  Sidewalks and driveways displayed about 4 or 5 inches of the the powder.  Schools were closed throughout most of the commonwealth, at least the eastern part.

Aunchalee and I went to the store to get some items in preparation for Moira's visit.  Grandma wants to buy everything she sees in the store.  Don't get me started because it's a least a week's worth of blogging.  Needless to say, she told me Baby's R Us is her new favorite store.

So driving back to the house we noticed about five people converging on driveways on our street.  Aunchalee commented, "I wonder what they would charge to clean our driveway?"  As most men do, I grunted, and pulled the car into the garage.

As we were bringing in Moira's treasure trove, I heard Aunchalee shout, "Wow, they cleaned our driveway already!"  I ran to the living-room window.  I couldn't believe it.  We hadn't been home ten minutes and our driveway and sidewalk were totally clear.  I asked, "Did you hire them to do that?  She said, "no."  And she quickly grabbed her coat, a can of cookies, and ran out to greet the workers.

It turns out it was one of our neighbors from up the street, whom we know by waving and shouting hellos as we drive by their house or as they walk by ours.  The three sons, a daughter and the mom had decided to offer the neighbors a gift and clean their driveways following the frigid snow.

Aunchalee said, "They take that love your neighbor stuff to another level."  Yes they do!

Surprised again by grace!

See ya around!
