When we moved into our house four years ago, we noticed this old man mowing the yard across the street. We went over to introduce ourselves, and, both being in the mowing business, Chris and he got to 'talk shop.' He was in his 80s at the time and had over 30 yards that he cared for.As Mr. Tidwell usually mows our neighbor's yard while Chris is at work, we hadn't spoken to him for a year or two.
Yesterday, Mr. Tidwell was out for the first cut of the season, and Chris jumped at the chance to reconnect. Mr. Tidwell is now 92. Yes, you read that correctly: 92.
Chris told him he was an inspiration. He returned by saying Chris was his inspiration and had made his day. Whatever, Mr. Tidwell. Nothing compares to you.
