[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother didn't want the responsibility of our yard, so I told my Dad I could do it. I was 8 years old and probably 60ish lbs. He paid me $5 to mow the entire yard with a push mower that he had to start for me. Took me about an hour 1/2. But I was responsible, hungry for money and wanted to earn his respect. I'm now a 50+ woman with 5 successful businesses. Not BS, just grew up up with strong business people and wanted to emulate them.[/quote] What made you decide to resurrect this 2013 thread, PP? I started mowing my family’s half-acre yard in 1978 when I was 10, and my DH was nonplussed when I wanted to mow our family’s yard in Bethesda for the first 10 years of our marriage. I was excited to see that someone mentioned the great place on Butler rd, which was at least a million times better Strosnider’s for blade sharpening. But I assume the Butler Rd. place is long gone, like my lawn-mowing days. Now I’m sad. [/quote]
