Monday day is a time for me to clear our mind and prefer quiet.
I may be a heathen but, I don’t go to church.
Not that I don’t believe, it’s just I much love to be quiet in our own cabin for a few hours as our family is gone to church. I get some guff from our teenagers about the fact that I don’t go to church however our wife and I make them go. I always tell them that they are free to do what they like concerning religion just as soon as they turn 18. This, of course, goes over really much like a lead balloon. So, I wasn’t in the mood to hear a knock on our door this past Monday day as I was enjoying our quiet time. I looked out the window to see a guy who looked vaguely familiar. I opened the door and the guy introduced himself as our HOA Compliance officer. I nearly punched him right there. Before the guy even continued talking, I knew just what this was all about. For about a month, I had been receiving threatening letters from the HOA over the fact that our HVAC can now be seen from the street. This is due to me letting our child trim the hedges. He trimmed them alright. His thinking was why not take a foot or more than one off so we don’t have to trim them so much. I couldn’t easily be mad considering how great a job he did on the hedge. And those things grow back.
