Mine was mostly pretty low-key, which is how I like it. I got some small gifts from my wife and daughter, including a 7oz hammer with a colorfully painted handle. I actually really liked that. For dinner my mother-in-law took us out to an expensive steakhouse, where I had a wonderful ribeye, but I don’t think it was worth the price. I’m grateful and appreciative, but I think it was a little too much. I think that she and/or my father-in-law had a gift card, so it made sense for them. Besides all that, I somehow hardly had to put up with any complaints, even from my ever opinionated four-year-old.
I would have enjoyed the day a lot more if I didn’t have to worry about work today.
Mine was excellent! I got my shop rewired to include an exterior outlet and double the light fixtures.
No more running cords through a partly open door or long extensions from the house.
No more squinting or having to wear a headlamp when measuring, marking, or following a line. Although I have to say, wearing a headlamp is pretty darn effective for some things even with the extra lighting.
Oh yeah, got a text from my son and acknowledgement from my wife. Which is about as much celebration as I can handle. 😀
