Lawn Care Family pg.3

After some months of living in Florida, it was time to have our furniture brought down from storage in St.Louis. So changes needed to be made. The house we purchased came with a lot of furniture that we were not going to need.

Checking with Mr. Johnson and his family, we were giving him the sofa  that made into an extra large size bed and several other pieces.  What we did not know, was how extremely heavy this sofa-bed with all the extra heavy duty metal would weigh?   No  wonder the previous owner was so happy to have us agree to purchase what they were leaving behind. It would have cost them a small fortune to have moved?

Mr. Johnson and three of his men and my husband, all had a heck of a hard time getting that sofa on their truck. Even though we were giving the furniture away, my husband  felt he had to pay them,  since this move out , and also to where ever it would be going   –  was no easy job  –  took  –  way more time than having our regular  “Lawn Service” job!

Weeks later, they were still telling us about how terrific the sofa was, and so glad to have it! One thing  about living in Florida –  You always have unexpected guests showing up and it pays to be able to offer them a very “good night’s” sleep!
