ReplyDeleteVery Good News. Now we have to start supporting these small businesses which only helps the local economies to improve. At our other home in another state I got tired of paying for weekly grass cutting because it wasn't needed. Called around and found a new business starting up black owned who was willing to work with me. I pay him more then before but he's is only cutting as needed. I have since gotten him 3 more contracts.
