I have to say we didn't do bad. We could have done steak on the way home. Pizza instead. LOL

As a result of ordering that pizza from the local saloon, we met a hosta/day lillly wholesaler.  Yup, he walks in and says to me "You waiting for a pizza?' I said "yeah, why?" He said "I saw the lettering on your van outside and called the number. I just talked to your wife. She said you were in here waiting for pizza." I couldn't believe it. We're setting up a tour of his facility. That's how connections are made sometimes, I guess.

Isn't it funny how things work out sometimes.  Hoping it works to both of your advantage.

Cool story and a good omen, My Captain.
Always move forward. Never look back.

We only paid $125 to get the sides and the back of the van lettered. Money well spent. People normally snap a picture of it and call us later.

What?  No Chipotle?  I'm surprised.


As far as the van lettering, $125 was a great deal, it looks great.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobbery and one-upmanship. People trying to pretend they're superior. Makes it so much harder for those of us who really are.
