Challenges with the snow

We are so sorry we cannot drive the 15 miles to visit Joy.  The snow in our cul-de-sac is deep and with 10 -14 degrees it stayed dangerous for several days.  With the northeast winds, our driveway builds up as much as 3 ft drifts (and more).  We had a young person (Garrett)  from our church come and shovel it out.  His mother (Lisa) helped some also and then went to Walgreens to get Margie's medication.  We certainly did appreciate this as I have been sick for several days and unable to do any of it.  I finally was able to drive the car to the mailbox and get our mail.  Margie dare not even try to walk on the icy roads.  Our DirecTV lost its signal and a kind lady from the support team was able to get us the non HD programs.  But even yesterday we lost them too.  BUT Rawlie, our son, came to work on the Vista house and last night he cleared the accumulation of snow from the satellite dish and now we are back to normal.  We are so grateful for others who help us.And thanks so much for praying for Joy's life at the new facility.  She is doing superb.  The staff there is so kind. They have called every day asking questions about how to improve her care.  It is such a blessing.  Thanks for praying.
