Provision can be fun


Today I got to cut up some fire wood. Nothing compares to watching saw dust fly and the sweet smell of cedar. This is not only provision to keep us warm but also provision for fun. How cool. My awesome saw cuts like you wouldn't believe and I have a good time while I'm doing it. God made some amazing things, trees and chainsaws are high on my list of favorites. My brother gave me the saw as a wedding gift. Of all my gifts, this is my favorite. All the others were amazing but this one is my all time favorite. I love my new saw, I don't think Amber will allow me to add a pillow for the saw in the bed.

The Diner

The best place to get food in almost any town is at the Diner that's been there for 20+ years with original paint. I had the good fortune to secure a table for my very important meeting with Daron. We had some extremely important business to take care of, breakfast for the sake of breakfast, with no other agenda. The food was great, I loved the atmosphere, hard working people out to start their days on a hearty, heart clogging meal. I enjoyed the remnants of small town that could still be seen, people that know each other greeting oneanother by name. Cool stuff. In all I would say we achieved Breakfast in all of its glory, eggs, meat, hashbrowns and enough coffee to fuel a camel through the Gobi, accompanied by real conversation. Good stuff.
