Well, I'm sure your grandkids are really wonderful but ours are still newborn, baby age, toddler, 8 years, 11 years and one 18. We have a ways to go to catch up with yours.
Hopefully, some day....(p.s. actually quite a few of the landscapers I mentioned were Eagle Scouts in our town and in New Jersey)....just showing the difference.
Not worried. I'm keeping a running list of all the good ones people have happily used and posted.
I was expressing understanding of those who were worried........as we did see the ones working along the roadsides as we drove here and there (mentioned by others in this thread).
They didn't exactly look like our lawn maintenance guys up here.......let's just say that. We wouldn't leave our safes open or our doors unlocked.
Plus hubby would service his own pool. It isn't hard to do. He would chat with the guys who came once a week to vacuum and then he went out and got his own cleaner for the mold under the coping.........and would clean a little each day as he floated around. Type A personality.

I was KIDDING about arguing about the grandkids senior. And I didn't think you were worried, I just think that anyone who doesn't live here has a lot of concepts to absorb about a place with so many new to each other people, just as Uptown Girl said so well.
The world has changed a lot since we were born and is still changing and bad people still lurk everywhere. I feel as safe here as I did in the nice community in Ohio from which we moved, but to completly let down your guard is foolish.
