So we woke up to several inches of snow this morning. Dad went into work around 10. The schools were canceled. It's cold. It's just so unnatural for Belgium.
So what does a homebound girl do??? I wrapped my foot in a plastic sack and donned my plastic boot, grabbed the shovel and had a ball.
I started with our house, then got carried away and started shoveling down the neighbors walk. Then I felt guilty that I did one neighbor, so I did the next and the next. By then I was in front of another American's house, so I crossed the street and did their house, and then up the street I went, back to our house. I ended when I came face to face with Marcel across the street!
Now don't be impressed. The snow was light as a feather and I was having fun. I just found it comical that I finally had time and energy to do a good turn because I have been forced to stay at home with a bum foot! And now that I have told you about it, I won't even get any blessings. Still, I had to tell somebody!

You're crazy. I wish I could have been there to get a picture of a woman shoveling snow with a broken foot. You'll still get blessings :)
Holy cow! I wouldn't have shoveled my driveway if I had the slightest ailment, let alone a broken foot! And I definitely wouldn't have done my entire street!
You are a super woman, Anita!!!! Such an inspiration.
BTW, 2 sundays ago, I think, we ask Taiamani a few questions about her time in Primary, and who was in the class. She named the kids, and the Sister Alicia, Emily, AND the :Aunty with the broken foot". We guessed it was you :)
Good for you!!
Did you get a photo of the plastic-wrapped foot?!? You're amazing, Mom.
I think you will get loads of blessings. Keep it up!
