Neighbors--I have awesome ones!!!!

Dennis lent me his 'weed wacker' to try to tame the jungle my backyard has become. Problem #1- it's battery powered. You guessed it- the battery last about one mili-second. I hurry--but you can't 'wack' to many weeds in a mili-second. Problem # 2- My 'jungle' has weed roots that are as big around as your fist. Ok, there is 'no way' the 'battery powered 'wacker' is going to cut through that. Problem # 3- Dennis said he'd lend me his gas powered weed wacker, but--gas powered things and I get along about as well as screwdrivers and I do. What to do?? So, I'm outback after work trying to get the smaller weeds with the 'wacker', my neighbor [Bill, that lives behind me and has a awesome yard] comes up to the back fence to give me some eggs. We get to talking and before I know it, he's over the fence and burning my 'tumble' weeds. He also, offered me the use of his 'gas' powered 'wacker' but when I told him of my problem with gas powered stuff, said he'd bring it over this weekend and help me out. Just how cool is that??? By the by, the eggs were from his hens so they are totally fresh. What a cool guy. The tumble weeds were a worry, as they were BIG and from LAST year. I didn't know HOW I was going to get rid of them. It takes a guy! Problem solved! You know what is totally cool about all this? Bill lost his job awhile back [Trent told me] and here he is, worring about helping ME out. I tell you, this world is FULL of some pretty AMASING people.
Love to all of you sweeties!!!!

I think growing up we all thought you had such great neighbors. How have you always lucked out? That is awesome!

I would've mowed down your back yard for you. That would've been funny to watch me mow your tumble weeds down to nothing.
