Certainly Not in His Job Description...
I know I haven't posted in a few days...the warmer weather has kept me outside most of the time...and I have been very busy with traveling and I started my own landscaping business so that has kept me on the run lately...I love love love it. I have been neglecting my site recently...I hope to have a little more time to sit down and post at least every other day this summer, please bare with me while I get into some sort of a routine.
The real reason I wanted to make this post is for the most awesome of all Fed-Ex men. And although he will likely never see this post or even ever realize that a post has been written about him...it needs to be done.
Yesterday I was trying to get my lawn mowed (it generally takes at least three hours with both Kruze and I workin' at it)I started out with the push mower and mowed all of the areas that are just too hard to get at with the rider and then I walked around the yard with the weed whacker and whacked up a bunch of stuff, I was feeling like I was on a roll and it was going really smoothly and I really liked the idea of staying on top of this lawn and not letting it get out of hand...I need to keep my own yard in order and well-behaved other wise I will become exactly like the plumber fixing everyone else's leaky faucets while at home his own are sprayin' like Niagra. I finished all of the little whacker and push mower stuff and started mowing with the lawn tractor, I made one run across the yard and then got a little too close to the edge of the farmers (muddy) field and the mower and I both slide right off the edge of our yard and right into the sloppy field (which incidently had just been planted...sorry Mr.Farmer, Sir.)I tried backing out, I tried going forward it was stuck tight so I got off and tried to push it out,it made a horrible suctiony noise but it wouldn't budge (of course I did have it in reverse while I was trying to push it forward...SHHHhhhhh...thats just girl stuff)I was covered in mud up to my knees (thank God for big old rubber boots) I even tried to lift it up and pull it out, I was pushin' and pullin' and swearin' and kickin' for about 10 minutes when across the fields and down the road I seen a Fed-Ex Truck barrelin' it slowed down just before our driveway and turned toward me...such perfect timing and he barely had a clue that I was gonna beg him for a little manual labor and man muscle...he pulled up along side me and got out and handed me the package (Thanks Mom for ordering a Printer and having it shipped to our house it was like a dream) and just as he said "Have a great day" and was about to step back up into the safety and comfort of his truck I said "So I know this is totally not in your job description but do ya think maybe you could help me get that stinkin' mower out of the mud?" He started to laugh and then said, sure. So there we were Mr.Fed-Ex in his work shorts and hiking boots and me in my bibs and rubber boots pushin' and pullin' and kickin' and swearin' until we got it out. Now that is what I call service!! And he even kept his smile! Fed-Ex to the rescue above and beyond the call of duty...I think I should be on Tv in my bibs and boots covered in mud from head to toe tellin' the world about how great Fed-Ex men are at pullin' tractors out of muddy fields...don't ya think?

That's impressive yardwork, though would a couple of sheep take care of the mowing? It's yardwork that makes me yearn for our regular sojourns back to New York, where there is, in fact, a tree that grows just in front of our building.
I SEE CHIVALRY ISN'T DEAD YET!! YOU SHOULD CALL HIS SUPERVISOR AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT A GREAT GUY HE IS. HE'D LOVE IT!! I WISH MORE MEN WERE AS KIND AS FED EX MAN!
Luc,
What a great guy! That is indeed service at its finest! I would be making a call to the fedex people and telling them what a great guy they have working for them. I also would think you should be on TV with your muddy boots and overalls.
I bet you looked cute!
Take care!

Refugee...thats funny that you would mention sheep..I was thinking that very same thing, much more fun to be had if the sheep were takin' care of the yardwork. At least there is that one tree, one tree in front of your building is better then no trees in front of the building, though I am sure many would be more to your liking...I always think it is crazy when people find a spot of land covered with beautiful trees and they cut them all down raze them all to flat land and then build a house and plant a few shrubs...confusing and disturbing
Luc,
Congrats on the lawnscaping business. I am sure you are great at it. If you lived closer, I would have you come over and give me lots of tips. I was weeding my flower bed out front and there were these weeds with bulbs for roots or else a very hearty root system. Do you know how I would be able to find out if they are indeed weeds or some sort of a flower? The hubster was teasing me about it and said I need to figure it out before I just randomly pull things. I didn't plant anything that looks like them,or at least not that I know of... thanks,
Blondie
That had to have been quite the sight to see you in your shit kickers full of mud and the lawn mower stuck in the field, serves you right for trying to get that every blade of grass between your yard and the field. And I'm sure Mr. Fed Ex will think twice about coming down your drive-way, bet he had quite the chuckle about it though and I'm sure he probably said to himself "WOMEN".
