the necklace

august 10 2007

Remember I took care of some houses and everything in it when the owners were on vacation?

While they were shedding their stress at the beach, I ventilated their rooms, took care of the weeds in the garden and smothered their plants in the best love I had. (Well, what was left after caring for the kids here. LOL!)

My direct neighbours are always very grateful with chocolate for the kids or something else for the whole family.
This year Italy was the destination, and we were surprised with a huge...really very huge bag of pasta of all colours.

The kids loved it. (We're now looking for families that still have to leave for Italy... I'll take care of the weeds...LOL!).

A family, that needs a firm walk to their house, is not always very grateful.
They take others for granted, so I wasn't surprised not even to get a "Thank you", when I gave them the keys back.

To my surprise I got a visit this afternoon.

I got a nice "thank you for caring for our house, the mail, the plants, the garden."

And on top of it a nice necklace made of little turcoise stones.

I'm still amazed.
