So we have had our Hispanic friend, Alfredo (pronounced like the sauce), giving our lawn manicures since we have moved into the Cherry House. He charges $35, takes all day, and does an okay job (we'd compare it to a hair trim).
Then the other day a man knocks on our door and offers to cut our grass. I politely turned down the offer and told him we already had someone who was supposed to be coming later this week. He asked how much he charged and naturally I told new-guy $30, less than Chicken Alfredo actually charges (we go to Austin College, okay? We're taught to think on our toes!). The guy said he'd do it all for $25 and we shook hands.
About 20 minutes later I was walking out to my car and his wife was riding around on the John Deere while he was trimming our hedges. How cute!?! A little cute couple making their living!
Long story sweet, they did a wonderful job! We compare it to a fresh, clean hairCUT!
Sorry Alfredo. It's over.
