It is encouraging

I find it encouraging to have found someone who wants to work. I talked with Daniel after he mowed yesterday about some other things that need to be done here. Today he cleared lots of baby trees that were in the wrong places. He took five loads of brush to the burn pile, plus made himself some good fire wood to take home. I sent things home with him that I had no use for. He tells me his wife is excited about the chairs. Today he brought two of his teen aged kids with him. He said they both worked hard and did not complain a bit. Yes, it costs money to have other people do things, but to me it is worth it. First time in about four years I have not had to worry about the yard. He likes to keep busy. I think I have a few more jobs for him.

It feels so nice to know that there are still people who wants to help, we used to have a neighbor who offers to help us in our laundry, we paid for her services shes very diligent , she even volunteer to clean our house every saturday. But our then suddenly she told my mom that she will no longer do the laundry and clean our house since they will be moving to the city. Her husband got a work there and she will start looking for work there too.

I am very glad you had him come and help you. What a relief to have all of that done. And it's great that he hauled off what you didn't want anymore. He sounds like a great guy.

You have to love a guy who rears his children with a strong work ethic. You do not get that as much anymore, although I see it most often in young people reared in the country.

While you're pleased to have found him, he's no doubt really pleased to have found you too. It's a win-win for you all.
