Day 55: Giving up a good thing

Today I went through the Ottawa Hills house again. As I pulled up, I noticed the long stretch of sidewalk in front of the house. And then my gaze wandered over to the other side of the house. Corner lot. That’s a lot of snow to shovel.

After an evening stroll through this winter wonderland, I came home to find my landlord and his wife and kids shoveling the driveway. I mentioned the garage-door light he’d fixed recently wasn’t working again. He pulled open the light, tightened the bulb, and voila! It works.

A landlord is going to be a tough thing to give up.
