There's just ...Happy anniversary to your parents! <br /><br />There's just something about jumping on beds! I'll have to blog sometime about when my brother and sister were jumping up and down on a bed and her tooth got lodged in his skull...

The driveway is pretty long, and during years of heavy snow, my parents would just park at the end of the driveway so we wouldn't have to shovel the whole thing. After all the kids grew up and left, and they lost all their shovelling help, my parents bought a snowblower.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-29990053942991797382007-02-02T09:30:00.000-05:002007-02-02T09:30:00.000-05:00Is there any sort of garage with the house?

Or have your parents just shovelled their car out of Snowstorm City winters year after year?<br /><br />It's so <i>smart</i> to make the cold, windy side of the house windowless. In the house in which I grew up, the cold north side of the house was speckled with windows, but the west side of the house, which got a long dose of sun everyday that weather allowed, had none.

There used to be a front porch there, but my father tore it down years and years ago, after he built the little addition and put a door over to the side, where the cold winter air won't blow into main part of the house.
