He put a new set of blades on his mower a year or so back too. Just wore them out. They only last so long, even when sharpened regularly. I'm glad your parents' yard sale was successful. I definitely need to have one of those too but I hate fiddling with the doggone things. I'd rather just haul stuff to Goodwill or the church resale shop & be done with it. ~Andrea xoxoxoThe Feminine Energyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145843258211481300noreply@blogger.com
