Good news/good things post
For me, it's a three day weekend. I've done a lot of things I wanted to do, not just things I needed to do.
Spending tomorrow afternoon with family in the backyard, cooking food on the fire pit. :)
And here's my idea of something good for news.
"When John Kinnear bought a selection of paintings for an impoverished Nova Scotia painter, his chief hope was that they might buy him a grilled cheese sandwich.
His favorite diner in London, Ontario made an unforgettable grilled cheese, with five-year old cheddar and freshly baked bread. Maybe if they liked one of the paintings he could secure a series of sandwiches on the house.
Now 50 years later, that trade has secured Irene and Tony Demas, the married couple running the diner, a small fortune, as the paintings were made by the now-acclaimed folk painter Maud Lewis and sold some weeks ago for a quarter of a million dollars."
