Oh, I got a helper!
As I was taking a break from my yardly duties, the doorbell rang. A young man with Ipod asked if he could rake my yard.
I jumped at the chance. I went out and helped for as long as I could, but Andre' was way ahead of me. I'm paying him $50 bucks to rake the leaves and put them in leaf bags, and it is worth every damn penny.
I hope he shows up from time to time when I am working in the yard. It's nice to have such a polite young boy working with me. And even nicer when I'm pooped and I can leave it up to him to finish the job.
YAY!!

He was everything SWWBO said. Polite, *and* a hard worker who did what he was asked, and when he ran out of stuff to do, asked for more.
Gad, I wish all you young'un's were like that!

$50! Dang. I wish I lived in the Donovan neck of the woods.

Hey, send him my way. Sounds like a bargain to me. We have better things to do than raking, don't we?
