I was involved in a drive-by…????????
I was in my garage working on a piece of furniture when a Neighbor walked up to me out of nowhere. He said I noticed that you’re always working on different pieces of furniture and I have a hand-me-down solid wood kitchen table and chairs set that I am about to take to the dump, however, I wanted to offer it to you first to see if you wanted it and maybe there’s something you could do to bring it back to life. I didn’t want to see the furniture die so I decided to take it w/o even seeing the set first. After refinishing it, I then gave it to my daughter to furnish her new home. I didn’t know this Neighbor, and I don’t know where he lives, but I sure wish I did. I’d love to show him the outcome and thank him for what he had given to my daughters family.
