This is my favorite thing here on WKC. You just don't know what to expect. This year is no different. Let me start of with a BIG THANKS to
@bladz for his Holiday Cheer. I think Denis is a mind reader or just needs to play the lottery. Yesterday, yes Sunday, I get a package in the mail.
I open it up to find these with a note from Dennis explaining that it was part one of my Secret Santa gift. I would receive the other in a week or two
He really nailed it. As he put it " I saw your Aristocrat needed a little hand" Awesome
I will use the other on one of my SSPs. The ornament is beautiful. What crafstmenship! My hat's off to the member here who made them, who's name eludes me. So now to the interesting part of this whole story which makes this such a GRATE place to be. A few weeks back I saw something that I wanted to get for my SS and figured I would get one for myself as well. I contact
@Bertl , who I give BIG THANKS to as well for making it happen. He told me there was only 1 left and I told him to send it to my SS. So Bertl send me receipt with tracking as well as label copy showing SS name and address and I keep an eye on it. It got into NJ Friday so I'm hoping it will get to him soon. Last night I check and it's in Massachusetts. WTF. It's suppose to head SOUTH not north! Well I get home today to find a package from Bertl and it appears as he sent my SS gift to me. I didn't understand it as he showed me my SS Name and address on copy. I opened cause I thought I was forwarding it.
It took a second to sink in. This whole time I was tracking my SS gift to me. Bertl sent customs copy for my SS gift but the receipt from PO, which had tracking number highlighted, was the receipt from
@bladz gift to me. Bertl didn't mean that it just worked out that way. So I went from bummed that I had to forward it to my SS to TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY.
" Home is where my Weber is"
I still can't believe how duped I was . Thanks to both of you, even if you didn't know Bertl.
My SS received his today, package 2 of 3. One more on the way. I'll let him tell you about his
And now to sum this all up, with the best gift of all. Dennis later PM this
Hey I was also going to tell you that thumbscrew 18” cado is one I found this past summer at an antique shop near me.
Shop owner said he had it forever. It was sitting on a hill outside all those years, and I never saw it.
I traded it to Zav, and then it made its way to you. Congrats!
So if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have completed the Cado collection.
He gave me the best gift, without knowing it, of some sorts
My how the Universe provides in this small Weber world of ours.
Happy Holidays to Everyone here on WKC, The place to be!
