A new customer bearing gifts

June 10th, 2006 at 01:18 am

A nice surprise this evening when someone knocked at my door. (doesn't happen often out here in the country)

It was the young man from a neighboring piece of property. He had a case of sparkling cider as a peace offering of sorts. He owns a paint ball field and tomorrow he is going to be having a huge event & wanted to let me know the noise level would be up a bit.

In the midst of the visit, he asked if I was the person advertising sewing in the paper?? He has slacks needing hemming! I never counted on a walk in customer base, but here he was! We set an appointment for a time when I wouldn't have my kiddo clammoring for attention.

Sparkling cider; definately not on my shopping list, a treat for sure here.

    How sweet!

    I have some college students living next door, and not too long ago, they rang my bell and let me know they were going to have a party, and to just call them if it got too loud. I really appreciated that -- especially since they were so quiet I wondered if the party fell through!

    oh...if only there were more neighbors in the world that were this considerate!

    Kinda helps offset the 'horse' neighbors doesn't it?

    Enjoy the cider....and the new job!!!
