'Piece of cake'

This time of year, the words 'Christmas Shopping' cause a sheen of moisture to form above the brow of most men.

Not my Glynn. You will not find him in a mall or at an electronic super store this holiday season.

When I asked him recently how his Christmas shopping is coming along, he smiled contentedly and told me that all his Christmas shopping would be done at Lincoln Creek Lumber/Ace Hardware. "Piece of cake", he heartily exclaimed.

Many women would panic at hearing this. "Here we go again... a new coffee pot."

What I did not know (until Glynn began his contractor salesman career at LCL) is that Ace Hardware has a 3"- 4" thick catalog listing thousands of items to order. Appliances (no thank you, dear), clothing, bedding/linens, furniture, electronics, even jewelry ... the list goes on.

It's enough to make a grown man cry happy tears.
