We thought we should post a Thank You note, for all the nice messages we have received for our groundskeeper. Possibly I should note, we read all the emails and text messages to our groundskeeper, as he can’t read or write, he is from a distant state. We also let him know of any phone calls.
Update on his surgery, he is improving, he is doing well, he has not been taking the pain pills prescribed by the surgeon, he is routinely getting out of his recliner and walking throughout the house. He still has a lot of recovery ahead of him, but as for now he is doing well.
The pool for the kids needed to be drained, as school is starting next week and it would no longer be used. David filled in for the groundskeeper, when he put a syphoning hose in the pool and it is now drained.
We have had plenty of rain in the last week and the grass has grown a little. Several of the neighbors have mowed their yards recently making the rest of the neighborhood look less than desirable. Saturday morning, Glen was mowing his lawn and after completing his yard he called and asked if he could fill in for the groundskeeper.
I was a little hesitant but decided to let him mow the front yard here at The Ford Homestead. Glen is friends with the groundskeeper and wanted to help out.
All kidding aside, I want to say thanks to everyone who called, emailed and text about my condition, with a special thanks to Glen who mowed the front yard, and Sandi who come to the hospital and sat with Donna and the kids during the surgery. Donna and I have been blessed with many good friends and family.
I have a tendency to think that only friends read my blog, but in truth outsiders read it too. For the outsider, the groundskeeper is me!
Again, thanks to all!
Don Ford
