The Motherload!

Every October, Wil's work has a huge picnic for all of its employees. There are tons of fun things for the kids to do - face painting, balloon animals, snow cones, games with prizes, characatures, a puppet show...and there are fun things for the people working for the company. They all put their name in a hat and stand around in a huge group waiting for their name to be called so they can win one of the many cool prizes up for grabs.

Last year, I watched a guy come back with an Eddie Bauer camping tent then he went back and eventually came back with his second prize, a drill. I texted Wil, certain that he must have won something cool...what'd you get? The sullen reply...a thermos!

This year, lady luck was on his side and he won the best prize he's ever gotten at the work picnic...


Yes, my friends, in that box is a Dewalt, 36 volt drill and reciprocating saw! Wil's exact words..."I've never even seen one of these at the store...the first time I saw one was about four months ago at work and the guy bought it online!"


So...we looked it up...the price for one of these bad boys? About $700! That SO makes up for the thermos he won last year!!! Life is good, my friends. :-)
