    Im flabbergasted.. :)

    I got a call from an artist friend of my fathers. She wanted to buy a small bowl for a wedding gift. "no more than $40" she said. So I agreed to drop off a half dozen smallish bowls at my dad for her to look at. I priced them from $55 to 20$.

    Got a call from Dad... his friend bought them all!

    I was speechless.. and kinda proud..

    had to tell someone,

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Great gloat.
    Bill - maybe he should just post a picture of the pile of cash.

    Consensus seems to be if we don't get pictures, it didn't happen. Nice gloat!

    I don't know, but I guess holding the money will be pretty fun (it is when I get it - before the LOML takes it).
