Ever have one of those days....

[GoodTurns]

where everything just seems to go RIGHT?

Woke up early and dropped my son off at his rehersal for school musical, realized it was the first Saturday of the month...cool, the exotic lumberyard is open! Found several very nice Eucalyptus and Mytle Burl squares for a good price and met a very friendly and knowledgable "new guy" at the lumberyard. Picked the kid up on time</u>. Ran over to Harbor Freight and picked up a paint pot on sale. Got home to find my wife went out with friends so I had free reign of the shop where I got those burls cut to shaving brush and pen blanks, then cut and drilled about 60 sets of blanks WITHOUT ANY BLOWOUTS</u>!!!! (batch processing for non-custom orders!) Posted a request for help with some "worthless" blanks and have that just about ready to go. Made a huge pot of sauce for lasagna I'm making tomorrow that tastes fantastic and has made the whole house smell wonderful[^]. Sorry for the ramble, but sometimes I need to remember that Life is Good!

Today was one of those days that make you appreciate the little things.

What-- you didn't go and buy a lottery ticket---sounds like the perfect day to try.

I read your list of what made yesterday so wonderful for you, Jon, and noted that each piece was simple. Pleasing smells, nice wood, solitude, progress. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Nothing better than enjoying the simple pleasures of life (I pity those who can't appreciate these type of blessings now). Such a good day, I am happy for you.

I agree with Gary, you should have tried to push your luck a bit. LOL

Michael, That really stuck out at me also. No million dollars, just simple pleasures. Jon glad you had a great day and wishing for anouther one for you today.

I could go for a plate of homemade lasagna about right now...
Hope you get a bunch more days like that.

 

[GoodTurns]

well, got the lasagna done...anyone else need one?

 

[Proud_Poppa_of_2]

Holy cow, Jon! Were you planning on having Garfield over for dinner? Let's see. I probably could get about 144 lasagna sandwiches out of that display.

Anyone up for a group purchase of lasagna?
