We called a landscaper for an estimate. They called back to change the date and time.

A few days later we received a personal letter in the mail from them apologizing that they were very, very busy, they would not be able to work with us and that since they do most of their work in Scotch Plains, Maplewood would create "operational difficulties."

I was stunned by the old-fashiond courtesy. I sent the note back after jotting on the bottom thanks for the courtesy and indicating that most companies would just not show up or not call.

Stunned.... pleasantly, of course.

I wonder why they're so busy?
