2. Yeah I feel like a hermit.

If I don't get out and talk to intelligent life I am miserable.

The white folks and black folks come up and bum cig and beer money off of us and then say they will come back and do yard work. then they don't know when Monday comes. They're supposedly desperate for work and money but don't show up.

A Mexican guy put in the slab for our hot tub. Had two trucks and a trailer with a small backhoe on it, about four workers, got here at 7 am, it was finished and perfect by 10 am.

I know it sounds racist but I told hubby I need a Mexican gardener, since the white folks and black folks won't work. everytime someone comes on the property they mess something else up. Like the tree cutter driving over the electrical lines for the yard lights that hubby has carefully strung, and buried, and breaking the cords. We have a fence around the property of 2 acres and an electric gate for the cars.

We both have nightmares about intruders.
