Nick's been having regular income from his grass-cutting gig for a while now. At least $70 a month . .. plus a little extra from us sometimes. He pretty much takes care of all of our yardwork too now. Weedwacking and all. Saturday, he treated Ben to a trip to the toy store. They were great there together, and Nick was real attentive to his little brother, setting spending limits and being certain all options were vetted. He took care of all the details, including paying at the register. He made me buy my own air needles though! They bought two "smooth" cars. "Open Cars," as Ben calls his favorites. This means that the doors, hood, etc. "open," of course. They've been playing with them all day. Ben slept with his.
Like a good businessman, Nick recognizes that the grass-cutting business will soon dry up. He cleaned my car yesterday . . . vacuum, Armor All and everything. I guess he's angling to get paid for that. Today, he made a flyer for the neighbors where he laid out his services for the fall and winter: car cleaning, leaf raking, snow shoveling (that won't happen much) and CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SETUP!!! That ought to be a big hit in Norfolk Highlands. We don't hold back. Lights, lawn figures, plastic Santas, more lights, etc. are big here.

Looks like I'll need to find a second job so that I can afford the help.
Nick . . . you're such a hard worker. We're so proud of you. And, you are always so helpful, even when you don't get paid.
Even Miss Lil at church loves the way you always help her cleaning up in the kitchen.
