Addendum

I went out at about 5: 20, got my front walk and the sidewalks done and was working on the driveway, trying to hurry before it got dark. Then my neighbors drove by in their white Honda van. They live at the end of the street across from Shirley. Anyway, the car stopped, and the driver said, "Hi."

I said, "Hi."

She said, "My husband is going to come out in a little while and help you if you're tired. So why don't you just stop and relax. He'll come and do it."

I said, "Oh. Well, thank you. I won't say no." But I kept working, because it was getting dark.

But then he came. His name is Jeff. He takes care of Hoki, her driveway, she's 89, and the guy across from her, who is also 89. "You just go in the house and relax. Put your feet up," he told me. "It's my pleasure," he said.

What do you think of that? Doesn't it just fill your heart? It does mine.
