IF you ever do a pirate-ish thread again, you might want to include THIS site in your lead-up notes.

So would Mrs. Smith. Sorry, but the skin is just waaaay too sensitive.

One word for that: moisturize.

And the electric razors just don't do a great job

I agree with that. My hubby uses one and it misses spots all the time. *sigh*

[MS.BEHAVIN]

You needing rain there, Ma?
Yes it was a positive adventure, and two more coming up!
Tomorrow, the No Proesting at funerals law will be signed by the Governor..
I will be there along with the PGR to witness it..
And on the 31st, a welcome home ride!

Well now....if that isn’t a cute site!

Thank you DW! ;-)))

Sears Craftman. Just finished mowing with it.

[LadyPilgrim]

How do you like it? ;-) Is it a push or riding?

[LadyPilgrim]

Hey...I just looked at the time...how big is your yard?

[E.G.C.]

Well, it's not too big. I started around 11 AM CDT and finished around 11:50 AM CDT.

There is the yard, then the outisde.

I also mow the alley from time to time as a favor to our neighbors.

[E.G.C.]

BTW, it’s a push mower.

[LadyPilgrim]

We have a self propelled, but don’t use it much.
I can’t even get the thing started! ;-\

Sweetbaby is out of town so much, I have a yard crew that comes in and does it for him.

He would be mowing, edging, and blowing all day if I didn’t have them do it before he got home.
And ours isn’t that large either.

But I sure love it when he does it. Or, one of our sons...
They are all perfectionists. And so am I concerning the yard.

The lawn crew isn’t. Enough said. ;-)
But they’re faithful....every week on the same day...like clockwork, for 7 years now.
And no illegals are in the bunch. ;-)

Whew....
Retirement sure will be nice...;-)
