For the 1st time in 17 years someone knocked on the door & asked if I wanted my lawn cut!

No...this is not a Photo of Jeff! But, this is what Jeff looked like in my Eyes when he said, "I'll cut your lawn for $10.00". I paid Jeff $20.00..I have to mention that Jeff had ...

  • A Lawn Mower with Wide back wheels
  • A weed Wacker
  • and an Extension cord
  • He had No Truck! He was walking through the neighborhood looking to make a BUCK!
I just hope that Jeff was not "casing the joint" since I am paranoid & Jeff knows that my "Mad Dog Coco"  is no longer here...
  • Some of this stuff I am teasing about...
but Jeff seemed like an "old school" lawn mower...looking to make some Money...

Jeff sounds like a real go-getter--good for him! I wish him well and lots of rain.

Classy, giving him $20....great encouragement. His age?

Will Jeff be doing the MLB diamond pattern in your yard or perhaps you have a memorial design for Coco in mind. Please tell.

Jeff was somewhere around 23 years old. He did not seem too Bright...he actually told me he would mow my lawn for $10.00 a month. That is not a Fair price. He was surprised when I said I would pay $20.00. Only fault he had was he did not have a Broom. I loaned him my Broom & told him he had to sweep the sidewalk. He requested water from me (which I gave him, with Ice) & he pointed out to me how "tight" he edged the walk-way. He also told me he will be back in two weeks...I liked The Kid!

I was just thinking...about Jeff, the lawn mower. I think I can contend that I gave Jeff a "Green Job"! I wonder if I am now eligible for some Stimulus Money?

I have 5 kids and 13 grandkids. Never has anyone asked if they could mow my lawn.
