Mario, I'm willing, because I have the time, to meet on a given day, place and time, to clean up, one block, one street at a time, like an improvement group, to make someone else's surroundings pleasing and sanitary. The dollar store on Main and Sewall, sells mops, brooms, buckets, etc., all for a dollar! My galley kitchen and bath, are the only 2 tiled areas, here. I even have a "fake" grass lawn, on the terrace! Don't laugh! Every summer I create a "garden" in the large containers I own, creating an "oasis" in the air! I had huge strawberries, tomatoes and chiles, along with wild flowers, ferns and summer plants "growing" like mad, over here!
I am willing also to plant hardy mums and other seasonal plants, around time, with my 2 good hands and discretionary income, to create the town called "perfect", because it's where we should all live! The little breakfast places around town, have the nicest people in the world, operating them, like Chat & Nibble and America's Cup! It takes five minutes to scramble eggs and toast a bun, but it always tastes better, when someone else does it! At Sunset Landing, you get those crazy ducks! At Franks, you get the "important people" and the ordinaries, like me! I dream a world, but since it's just a dream, I try to live it, so Jack, whenever you're ready, I'll come with broom and rubber gloves to clean up! When it's time to plant, I'll provide some flowers! I don't mind a little sweat and I still have 2 good hands. I don't consider myself a "do-gooder"! I hate 'em! I like to just pitch in, where needed. I still own a couple of aprons, but never considered myself, domestic! When my kids were hungry, I cooked, when they were dirty, I cleaned them in places they didn't know they had! Well, they're gone now and things still need to be done, so just buzz me and tell me where I'm needed! I'm good-hearted, but not a "goody, 2 shoes"! Just sign me, a dreamer! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > In a message dated 10/24/2007 8:07:47 P.M.
