Late last week I painted the sign you see in the photo above for our dear friends the LaVallees. The sign is for a person who went "above and beyond" for them when they had car trouble while driving through Oklahoma ( I think it was Oklahoma). The car trouble happened in a small town but fortunately they found an auto repair garage. They were told they'd have to wait a day for the part to arrive. The part needed was more than an hour drive time away and the mechanic didn't offer to get it. The only other shop in town was Cohee's. The LaVallees had been discouraged from going there. They head for Cohee's anyway. He doesn't mind the drive. he gets the part, installs it and off they go! Way to go Mr. Cohee!! There's more to the story I'm probably forgetting so I apologize if that's the case.
Anyway, the LaVallees wanted to give Mr. Cohee a gift for his kindness and that's where I come into the story. It's been a while since I've painted a sign but I was more than happy to do it. After they told me what they wanted on the sign I got to work. They'll have seen Mr. Cohee over the Thanksgiving weekend to present him with the sign and take a photo of it in its new home. I'll post the photo as soon as I get it. Time to eat some more leftovers. Happy post Thanksgiving Day!
