Three young people from the Towne Square Singles Branch came to my house today, actually, to my yards. They trimmed all my trees of those errant sticking up straight starts we used to call suckers--isn't that right?--and they raked up all the pine needles and leaves still clinging to fences and yard corners. Then they cleaned up and left.
It's a job I couldn't do by myself, so you can guess how glad I am to have it done. Very.
They were Trina, from Shelley, ID; Stephanie, from Reno, NV; and G Or Gee or Ji (I didn't ask him to spell it), from New Zealand. I said, "So you're a Maori." Wrong. He's Samoan, born and raised in New Zealand.
All college graduates, all employed, all happy to give up their Saturday morning to come and help me, a stranger to them.
It's nice.
