I think this was a first: Bob made money for non-family work yesterday, and I am very proud of him.
\nOne of my friends just moved to a new rental, a pretty attached garden-style apartment with a private back yard and a landscaped front yard.
\nShe wanted to clean up the front a little, so Bob and I helped her prune, weed and put down 3 bags of really nice Hemlock mulch.
\nWe also loaded the truck with her packing boxes, which had been sitting in plastic bags in her back yard; these went to the recycling center this morning.
\nMy friend insisted on paying Bob, which was one of those unnecessary but very appreciated kindnesses that come your way so rarely that it puts you in a state of shock when it happens.
\nI told Bob he has a knack for landscaping.
\nHe replied that may be so, but it’s “not (his) thing”, especially on a hot, muggy day in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
