The yard is sparkling clean

Today I ventured outside and looked around where Mrs.McGoo and her husband Roger had been working and I found the entire yard to be now sparkling clean. The old bunk house is gone, the construction debris is gone and rubbish collected over the past four years is gone. My wife’s sister put herself and others from Mindanao hard to work over the past two days. All the junk is gone! In past days whenever I’d mention to guys who were suppose to be care keeps when our big house was either vacate or under construction – to clean up the yard nothing was ever done – now they too are gone just like the rubbish is gone! While downstairs today I teased our painter Thomas by telling him, “Since paint was costing far too much to start adding water to the paint.” He stood there for a minute thinking over what I had just said and then smiled and shook his head all the while probably thinking to himself “crazy old American!” Soon President Elect Obama will be president and I wonder if he’ll be the next Captain America.
