Dear Wendyl,
My friend recently sold her house but the new owners don’t take possession for two months as they’re returning from overseas. I went to visit the other day and she was planting out a garden and painting the fence, even though the house is sold and she will be moving out soon.
She said she wanted it to be nice for the new owners, but I think she is nuts. Why waste the time? What do you think?

**Dear Janice,
**I think you should leave your friend be. She wants to be nice and generous and in my book that’s a wonderful thing to be. Perhaps you should try it sometime.
