Stirring things up

I caused a stir today on the cul de sac! There is always something going on on our street and today I was the one who stirred things up!
On Monday, the big news was that at least four cars were broken into, including ours. They only broke into the cars that were left open but we think the cars/homes were targeted. I was shocked to find out that my neighbors leave money in their cars. One person lost one hundred and fifty dollars and another fifty! Isn't that crazy??? I think Matt would explode if we lost that much money because I left it in the car. We were shocked to find out that one of our neighbors left a gun in the car and that was also stolen. We have a good idea who the thieves were and the idea that those kids have a gun is a scary proposition. Hopefully it will not be a problem soon because the family is moving.
Do you want to know what I did to cause a commotion with the neighbors? I hired a lawn service to take care of the lawn so Matt did not have to do it on his days off. One of my neighbors called me to find out why I had a service cutting the lawn and I said "Matt works hard enough and does not get any time." "Now he has one less thing to do and he can enjoy his weekend." Matt was also shocked by my spur of the moment decision but happy and perhaps relieved. It is something he would NEVER do for himself and something that he deserves because he works like mad! Now I am glad that I did not do a thing for Father's Day because this was the perfect gift for the guy who is always looking for more time in the day.
