Happy for the Rain

I don't think I have never been more thankful to wake up to a rainy Saturday then I was today. All the things that were planned have been fortunately canceled. Two baseball games and babysitting a neighbors Two year old so they could go to a Submariners function..
Our family needed the little break from every thing. When Senior and I got the phone calls that games were cancelled, we rolled over at 7am and dozed back off.
Its a been a hard work week for us both, I helped Senior with a lot of work in the large community we maintain, and helped him with some residentials..okay so my edging skills are a bit wonky, but hey! Atleast I was out there trying which is more then some of these wives around me would have ever done.
His dad is now in a re-hab facility..such good news. But I think Senior will need to go back and forth a little more, so because of this we had to cancel our residential lawn customers.. Had several good elderly people I hate doing it to, but the added stress of taking care of old Mrs. Jones yard  was mounting up, and we had to make a decision.

You know most of our clients have been really understanding and loving about this decision..but there is always that one. One client got a little up tight with Senior...and thanked him for the "Short Notice", and now he has to go out and buy a lawn mower...  
If there is one thing I have learned while operating a customer service  based business is that there will always be that one client that you can never please. There will always be that one person in anything, that will be difficult.  It never fails.
It has always been my personal opinion that if you are a physically fit person, with all kinds of time on their hands, and weekends off...then there is no reason why you should need a lawn service company in the first place.
 One of our neighbors has the dad and a teenage son living at home..and they hire a company-- LAYYYZZZY!!!!

I would like to add  that I selectively deleted the "Suspect "Post from the other day. The wrong guys were mistaken for the Boston bombing. A lot of people believed they were the ones, and clearly they weren't. So, I did the right thing and took the post down.

PS:  My good buddy Matt has reminded me that the older brother was on the radar of the FBI..he was interviewed and "checked out"... assumed to be peaceful and living the American dream...well, we know that to be a much different story. And truely is the defination of what a "Sleeper Cell" is.
 So therefore, knowing agencies knew this guy was living among us, inserting himself in to society, does make me do anything but applaud . How does this make the residents of Boston feel? How does it makes the families of those killed feel knowing this information?  How about those that lost limbs, their lives forever scared but this tragedy?
