The Masons! The Masons! The Masons!
Why, you may ask, are they the nicest people in the world? Well, if you know them you don't need to ask. However, I do have a specific reason for blogging about their essential niceness. They helped us do that most abominable of chores...yard work!
They had a family home evening lesson on service and arrived this evening with kids and tools and gloves. Our yard is a wasteland of dirt because Lester pulled out all the old grass and is re-seeding. A lovely mountain of topsoil that smells like ammonia has been residing on our driveway for two days next to a pile of rolled-up sod and dirt waiting for a trip to the dump.
So, while Lester and Mitch hauled "rotten horse poop," as Mitch put it, from the front yard to the back yard, the kids ran around, helped, and ran around some more. Mahina methodically weeded the bottom of our hill while I pulled out dead tulips and tackled the area below our rock wall.
To correspond with their lesson on service, the Dimits had a lesson on gratitude. We were all prepared to thank them with dessert, but no, they even brought treats!
Now, isn't that nice?

it was a great fhe and everyone had a fun time! i didn't want to stop! like i said, once i start a project i have a hard time leaving it unfinished! i wanted to stay and finish the whole hill, but you know how it is, the kids gotta get to bed!!
thanks for letting us "serve" you, though it was more fun than work!
M, there's nothing stopping you from finishing our hill. :-)
I sure do like those Masons!
There's nothing like good friends to get you through hard times.
Gosh that was really nice! Lucky you!
