{Getting a New Custom Bed Today!!}


Today should be COOL! Our friend Heidi's Dad is an AMAZING woodworker! He's in his early 80's, but you'd never know it to meet him! He started making a bed of his own design @ his wife's specifications....it was going BEAUTIFULLY! Until they went to put it in the room the first time, and they dropped part of it, and the wood split. No problem for Jack, he went back out to the shop and made a whole new piece....done! They take it back into the room and start setting it up....uh, what? You're kidding me right? What do you MEAN the measurements are off by a "smidge"! A "smidge" means we'd have to rearrange furniture....okay, we'll try that. What? There is NO possible way to rearrange the furniture....we have to get rid of stuff? NO! We can't get rid of any of the furniture in here....EXCEPT this new bed! "Mike? Michelle? I know that you guys appreciate handmade, custom furniture by a master craftsman....would YOU like to have the new bed?" WOW! We were supposed to get the OLD sleigh bed that they were replacing....instead, we're getting the brand new, handmade custom bed by Jack Devine! We're humbled and awed @ his generosity! (Oh...and he's so mad @ it because it wouldn't fit and he had problems along the way....that he can't WAIT to get it out of the workshop!) Thanks Jack! We'll treasure it always!
