First and foremost, I must give major props and massive kudos to my Hunny, he, that spent so many hours and slung so much sweat out in the grueling sun to get the roof repaired and squared away on my "Studio" roof! Please visit my Art blog http://brokeneckstudio.blogspot.com/ to play along with me as I stretch my neck and try to do some ART! Anyway, I digress... So my Hunny out there sweating and pushing himself to the limits, (this I can see on his face as I take him some lemonade or a water) and I wish fervently that I could help but I cannot do anything but watch him suffer! Breaks my heart at the same time makes my pride swell knowing that he does this for me! I have accepted for the duration of our 25 years together that this is his way of displaying that affection. If I would wait for gifts, cards or flowers I would have fainted away in the very earliest of years! I am already familiar with this brand of love, same said for my Father... :)
Now, as this transpired, (again I will mention that the temperatures were absolutely soaring over the course of these few days), during my trips to and from the Hardware store, I see a crew working on a yard down the street. They are out there busting their behinds shoveling gravel and hauling whatnot in and out of the work area! Whew! I even stop one time and ask one of the guys a question about roofing, the guy has sweat POURING down his face, can barely see, and yet he is as nice as pie and answers my trivial flotsam with sincere kindness!!
So after a couple of days I had to just stop and say how great I thought they were and I asked for their card. Apparently they are out of Redding, but they advertise on Craigslist and it takes them far and wide! They said it like it is "we take whatever jobs are paying no matter where they are!" So if you find you need some good hard working Landscapers you could look up the crew at "Graham's Landscape Company", (530) 209-4053, Steve will be sure to hook you up! :)
My hunny is not for hire however, there is not enough of him to spare!! :)
