We wanted to outsource the 'fun' activity called lawn moving ever since R started B school. One day we saw an old man mowing a neighbour's yard and asked him if he could mow ours regularly as well. Thus came Mr. Bob into Chintu's life :) He is a 65+ old guy that has been doing this as a profession for years. He is very professional at the same time very friendly. Chintu is crazy about his Bob uncle's lawn mowing. I even got him a toy lawn mower so he could imitate him...and you bet that was and still is a superhit toy.
What I like about Bob is his happy attitude. He mowes off lawns even at this age ...just like that. I feel bad for him on summer days and have asked him to do his work early in the morning or late in the evening, but he does not seem to mind the sweltering heat. He works as a team with his wife. She takes care of the accounts while he mowes the lawns in multiple communities and keeps their income coming. He has gradkids as well...so he has family and is happy. It's just that he wants to be independent. I wish I can have his energy and enthu when I get to his age.....
