Well, think about it first.

In our old house in Hadley, the first day we were moving in, the doorbell rang a lot. It was landscapers and bug people who were just fellas looking for a job. We chose Earl that day to take care of our lawn, and he was a great, reliable and helpful person for the three years we lived there.

I think they saw the moving truck.

When I was at my friends house a couple of weeks ago in a new neighborhood, receiving deliveries of her furniture and other things, the young men who do lawns came and rang the doorbell. What they are, are decent people looking for employment. I am sure they saw the delivery trucks out in front.

We didn't get ONE call on cell phone, which is the phone we listed with The Villages. We didn't have a landline.
