southern expansion interest....

Let me say this right out. I don’t care for carrot cake. I just don’t. I know in many ways it’s like a carrot muffin with raisins and a thick icing but…well, I don’t like carrot muffins either. It’s for this reason I cannot fully endorse the Topanga Café carrot cake…as much as I’d like to. However, I can tell you this, it’s a huge hit with others who have had it. Sebastian took a piece home the other night to Mishi – she loves it…Corie took some home to Katherine but I think he probably ate most of it…last night Jen with one N and Sara both seemed to enjoy it, as did Corie - again…I did eat some and it’s pretty good, I guess…I’m just not the guy to ask…but, just in case you’re in the mood for some bitchin’ carrot cake, Topanga may be the place to go. I’m still more of a pie guy.
Funny thing. I put an ad, as I do from time to time, on the old craigslist, advertising Lawn Order’s services. I usually get a couple of hits – some for estimates, some saying they just love the name, some to say they love the website, and some say just come and cut it – but it usually gets something. Today I received an e.mail from a guy in White Rock who says he’s been doing what I’ve been doing – just weedeating, cutting, period, for three years and he wants to become part of the Lawn Order family.

Garnet,

My name is Jeff …., I live in White Rock, I have a full time job but have been cutting lawns on the weekends and evenings in the White Rock/S.Surrey/Cloverdale Area for 3 years now.
I love your concept because I only cut and weedeat also, I would be very interested in talking to you about sharing your website, to promote and sell Lawn order in my area.

If interested please call me at xxx-888-xxxx.

Cheers,

Jeff

Interesting but I think I’m gonna have to give it a pass…as much as I’d love to have the world serviced by Lawn Order, it’s gotta be mine and mine alone. Lawn order is my baby. Thanks jeff.
