A Very Cool Truck

Guess what came to our house?!!

We had a load of lumber delivered. Well actually, it was even better than that.

Saturday morning, Daddy spent a few hours traveling to the nearest “big” city (an hour away) to get me a whole lot of nice wood for garden boxes. He paid and was directed to the pile of lumber to load, and he proceeded to load it with the help of some employees. He could only get half the wood I needed, but half would have kept me busy until the next time he could head into the city. However, after he: drove it home, unloaded it (all the way into our basement), and watched conference, he then went to cut it.

And discovered that the boards were a foot too short.

After calling Totem, the person he talked to offered a $50 gift certificate for the muddle, or to deliver the correct order and take back the wood now living in our basement.

Well, as it turns out, they not only switched the wood. They also brought me a slightly different (and a little bit cheaper wood, and better for my budget) type of wood, and they brought all the lumber I’d wanted in the first place.

Truly an awesome blessing!

Best of all (to a mother of 3 boys), a really cool crane truck brought the order!

It was a party (they even delivered at lunch time so daddy could come home and take pictures help):

Note please, there was so much excitement that Giant’s feet are not actually touching the ground:

(mommy was pretty excited for all the wonderful wood for her garden boxes, too)

Thank you!!!
