Ironing or Sanding

Talk about irony.

sounds like the truth to me my friend!

what do you know! that’s the excat pose I take when it’s time to iron, I mean sand.
Get the wip out.

Is that your son? If so, he and my son seem to have a lot in common.
Last time my next to the oldest decided he wanted to “help” in my shop, I put him to sanding. What harm could he do? He did a pretty good job I thought at the moment.Till the next day when I tried staining the part.
“What did you spill on that piece of wood I had you sand?”
“Beer I think”.
“You know I don’t allow drinks in the back of the shop around ongoing projects”.
“I thought that only applied to cokes and coffee.”

Looking at the dust everywhere, I would hate to see the baby!

I am somewhat in your generation, and no longer is the birth process left to the women. The father was
unable to make it for the birth of my great-grandaughter a few weeks ago, so my granddaughter asked if
I would step in, having done this for one daughter, the military is great for having fathers elsewhere, and
being familiar with the Lamaze method, I agreed. No more setting in the waiting room, you are right up
front and center, but holding my new great grand-daughter within 15 minutes of her birth (mother and
grand mother come first donchaknow) was something else. And I am sure all fathers can relate to that
lack of sleep look, even nursing mothers require someone to rock the fed baby when they are cranky.
All will agree that they are expensive wee buggers, but as my sister said, “I would not give you 2 cents
for another one, or take 2 million dollars for one of mine.” Thank you for sharing.

Give the dude some credit. The holes in his jeans are patched! That’s better than I do and I don’t have kids! He’s just hiding out in the shop, trying to catch a few zzzz’s. I’m lol’g with William, too!

It’s the only kind of ironing done in this household! I’m just glad to see it is no longer held in a gender bias!

Yes it is amazing what they can figure out these days…

Big smile to you from me, and a warm thought.
All the best,
