I saw this quote online yesterday and thought of my village friends here.
Happy Wednesday!

Being nice does pay off doesn't it! The summer older DS-R was born they were rebuilding our road. Up till then it had been narrow and quite filled with pot holes. (Today cars speed down all the time). But dh would chat with the guys working on the road. Ended up that they dumped all the dirt dug out from the entire roadway on our lot north of our house. It would have needed lots of fill to bring it up to the required building level. There were many 100 truck loads which we would have never been able to afford. Nice! DS-A eventually (20+ years later) built a house on that lot but still needed fill where the house sat to bring that part higher than the road.Good thing happened at job though. Road guys are grading and scraping the dirt road out there and homeowner invited the guys up for a drink and they came up in their equipment, grading and leveling as they came...so now the long drive DH has been working on is all fixed ready for the top coating!
