A few minutes ago, in the rain, we were surprised by the appearance of Ray Rouleau. Ray and Cyndy are here for the holidays and he was out for a walk to get some exercise, in spite of the rain. Fred was outside preparing for icy conditions on our driveway later on if the rain begins to freeze. Ray said he loves this weather . . . I'm not sure how Fred talked him into shoveling the deck, but at least we helped him get that exercise! One thing about it, he'll be back in the warmth of Florida in a few days while we'll be shoveling snow for the rest of the winter, I expect.
