Great big, beautiful roses to the two women and the man working on the paving crew on Highway 20.
On Friday, Sept. 11 some of our crew were headed home for the weekend, when one of our trucks failed.
These three angels in vis-vests did everything they could, including getting our guys some oil, to try, alas in vain, to get the boys re-mobilized.
When my husband and I went out on Monday to make a second, again fruitless, attempt, a low-bed driver stopped and really went the extra mile to try and help us. Thank you so much.
On Tuesday, we went out again, and the pavers stopped by. They let us know they had kept an eye on our truck and, once again, offered their help.
Third time being the charm that it is, we were able to start the truck and drive it home.
On the way past the paving crew, we were met with big grins and waves and thumbs up.
While Dean was changing the truck’s battery, we all had a conversation about paying it forward; thank you again and know that we absolutely will do just that.
