Playing off the other Thread...
I had just gotten a Mexican Family moved into an RV on the next 3 acres away.
Flat broke but Daddy worked, and the 2 teenage daughters went to school all day. Momma stayed home and kept the home fires burning , fed the chickens ect.
One day the two young gals came over...Can we pick the palmetto berries in your yard. Sure, and you can pick them all the way down the street on this side of the road...I know the owners.
Now these are well dressed , pretty gals , well schooled and polite.
Off they went.
About 2 weeks later they came back over with a big box full of all kinds of home made Mexican pastries and gave them to me.
I asked..Well did you make any money ?..Yes we did all smiles and proud.
Two Thousand dollars...Bamm.
They were so happy and I was proud of them.
Picking them berries ain't a fun job on Saw Palmettos full of spiders , snakes , nasty stuff in the summer heat ... They earned every dollar
