Lately I’ve been losing sleep because Bill’s new staffer who maintains our gardens is blowing the leaves from driveway and front garden party area while I’m trying to sleep. The noise is awful, but I gotta admit that the Villa has never looked better. Leonilla , the gardener, does a great job keeping our Coconut Grove mansion neat, clean, well-groomed and immaculate.
For some reason, last week, the blowing and the noise stopped and I was able to resume my beauty naps without all the racket. It turns out that the blower was broken!!! Wow…great news for me, but bad news for Bill! For five days there was no blowing and lots of beauty naps for me. In the meantime, Leonilla is raking and bagging by hand. Suddenly, last Wednesday, the noise begins again and I’m back to staying up way past my nap times.
Being the nosy bird that I am, I had to find out what happened. Here’s what Bill told me……Firstly, Home Depot would not cover the repair on the blower, even though it was less than a year old. Leonilla, tried to get it fixed, but no luck there.
But superstar that she is, home at night, while on her own time, she researched the blower online and figured out how to fix it on her own. She used her own initiative to fix it, at no charge to Bill. I must admit that although I miss my naps, I’m really glad to living at a place where everyone really cares about what they do…and they go the extra mile to keep our mansion and catering business at the head of the pack.
I tip my feathers to Leonilla….Who Goes the Extra Mile!!!! And I know that Bill has rewarded her too for her great work ethic.
Well, I think she’s done blowing now, so I’ll head to the bushes for my nap…..Sweet Dreams!
