Under the Fence to Front-End Adventures
When I was just five years old, the land next door was being cleared to build a home for the Thompsons (later, I will tell you about their apple tree), a lovely elderly couple embarking on their retirement dream.
A Child's Adventure
Like any curious child, I couldn't resist the allure of exploration. Sneaking under the old wire farm fence while the construction workers took a lunch break at the edge of the woods, I found myself amidst the sand piles and machinery, oblivious to the potential dangers around me.
What followed could have been a harrowing incident, but fate intervened in the form of a compassionate soul – the operator of a front-end loader. Discovering me nestled and asleep in the bucket of his loader, he must have been startled, yet his reaction was one of kindness, humor, and concern.
First, he started the engine, which just about gave my little five-year-old heart a heart attack! After reassuring me and ensuring my safety, he not only offered me a ride in the bucket but also escorted me home to recount the adventure to my mother.
A Mother's Grace
My mother, filled with grace, didn’t lecture me or get angry. Perhaps she was so relieved. However, she got the last word when she proclaimed, “Debra Kay! Wait until your father hears about this!”
Reflecting on this incident now, I am reminded of the inherent goodness and grace in people and the importance of looking out for one another, especially in moments of vulnerability. It's a story I carry with me, imbued with gratitude for the care and compassion shown to me by a stranger who became a guardian angel that day.
Safety and Trust in Business
In my fencing business, safety is paramount. Just as that operator ensured my well-being all those years ago, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality products and resources to ensure your projects are completed safely and efficiently. Your trust in Louis E. Page Inc. is something I deeply value and never take for granted.
Partly as a “Thank You” for reading my emails, and partly because I need to make room in my warehouse, I am lowering the price on one special line this week, but only up to Friday March 1st, at 3 PM Eastern.
Special Offer on Belgian Hexagonal Netting
Let me tell you about it: We have around three dozen rolls of beautifully-made Belgian hexagonal netting. It’s 22 gauge with ½ “ openings and is just under three feet wide. Each roll is 164 inches long. What can you do with it? It’s often called Sparrow Netting, so of course you can use it to block small birds and vermin from getting under your eaves. Here are some other ways to support your garden and/or farming plot:
- Chicken house and run
- As a top netting for your chicken run
- Canary cages (Martha Stewart has ordered this from us for this very purpose, and I can help you get the plans to build your canary cage.)
- A balcony or deck safety or animal barrier netting
- Use as floral wire (one of our customers makes astonishing flower structures for weddings, etc.)
OK, here’s the deal: order before Friday, March 1st, at 3 PM Eastern, mention this email and I’ll give you 20% off. Order the whole lot of what’s left and save 25%. Check it out on our website under Sparrow Netting now!
