I remember when a lot of kids made pocket money mowing lawns for both family and neighbors, I know I did. And up until I was disabled I still did all my own yard work.

There are a lot of elites out there who don’t have kids or are out of touch with kids. My sister was wondering how my husband and I were leaving town for three weeks— who would care for our pets? I said I know middle school kids and high school kids. I volunteered for years and got to know local families. Kids need money and the chance to be trusted with some responsibility. But if you are in the Beltway and hire adults for personal chores and such, you don’t know that.

I worked for a lawn service company during my high school years. It was 100% Americans. Pocket money? It was more than that to me. It was my summer job and I depended on it.

I had an uncle who cut lawns into his 80's as a business. Customers would give him used clothing, food, old furniture, etc....

Little known to them he had a business he sold to Russell Stover when he was 50 years old for $27 million. He just hated doing nothing and enjoyed lawn work.
