From: Bobert Seems that I learned this lesson a long time ago but never heard "One Hand Washes the Other" until an older women client said it when I was in social work... Her name, Matilda Hiezmann, a survivor of the Holocaust... Very simple concept... So this afternoon there were 3 Hispanics cutting up downed trees for our neighbor so I hopped on my tractor, rode it over to where they were working and used it to push and pull and saved them a days worth of work in a couple hours... After they finished over there they came to our house where a monster branch was still on roof, set up a ladder and went up and not only got it off the house but used a blower to clean off the roof entirely... I offered to pay them... All three held up their hands in a manner that said, "No"... How about your stories??? B~ |

They are coming back on Saturday morning to take out another tree and I'll be fueled up and ready to pitch in... Ain't like I'm expecting anything... I just like the guys and they are already calling me "bohejyo" (sp) which I have let them know is fine with me... It is Spanish for "old man"... When I was in business I had two Hispanics working for me and that's what they called me... B~ |
