Working Son

Yesterday we had gravel dumped on the driveway which wasn't as evenly dispersed as hoped. Thus there is quite a lot more shoveling and raking involved then previously planned. Marshal came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and set to work with Gabe. Then to our chagrin, we received a phone call that Marshal was on call with an overlooked schedule change. So Marshal returned to the hospital for the night, and Gabe has continued in the task. Today Marshal has been sleeping, and Gabe has been out with wheelbarrow and shovel and then rake for a good two hours. He is motivated by hard labor but also by the US dollar. Dad rewarded him with two dollars this week for his unsolicited hard work alongside him.
