Again, Snow

HI Again!  I wanted to show you our Property Manager Jeffrey helping out our snowplowers:







Wow!

Hi Everyone! 

You safe and sound?  That WAS a Buffalo snow (big smile).  Wow!

Our Live-In Attendant Nancy said she heard "thunder snow" at 6:00 AM.  Not sure I've heard of that.  Nancy takes over when I leave.  She has an apartment here.  There is always someone here to call on if you need assistance!  She has weekends off and there is an attendant on duty in the office 24/7

I called Ed over to take care of a Maintenance need.  Jim is "stuck on 84".  Ed says it was not "thunder snow" but 16 transformers that "blew" in the Hartford area- that's what people heard and saw (the flashes).  Ed is a former firefighter and EMT so he would know.  he has to have knee surgery next Thursday.  Best of luck Ed.

Our Van got off OK to the grocery store just fine.  Thanks for all the extra digging out Brian!

Hey, I had a lovely comment posted to this blog.  Thank you Eric! That felt great!

Hope everyone who was thinking about moving to "Easy Living" now gives me a call! (860) 232-4833  That snowstorm was a catalyst wasnt it?

See you SOON!

SNOW!!!

Hi Everyone!  I missed you!

Hmmn...Bill Hawthorne asked me to return his email as he could not find an email address.  Our address Bill, is http://www.thecanterburyretirement.com/ or canterburyretirement@yahoo.com.  Bill blogs about senior issues so this could be the beginning of something interesting!

Okay, back on topic!  I am from Buffalo!  Needless to say I am whistling a happy tune today (walking in a winter wonderland to be exact).  In the middle of the night, gently, and peacefully, the world will change and a blanket of white will slowly descend and cover us.  Any animals that jump and hop around will leave their mark for us to see, and a wonderful sight will emerge.

Unless you have to shovel it!  Perhaps because I am from Buffalo, I set up our snowplowing contract here at Canterbury to include as many inches as may fall, vs. paying by the inch as some do.  We have the nicest person to help us plow our snow, Alex.  Our Property manager, Jeff, will probably help out during this big storm.

So no worries here- you are safe from harm, AND shoveling!
Enjoy!
BIG HUGS! Emily
