Dan....interesting you should make that comment.
Yesterday I spent some time sharpening all my knives, kitchen, pocket, utility, etc.
As I was doing it my mind was sort of just reflecting and I looked at what I was doing and the thought struck me..."Those are dad's hands!" He taught me everything I know about caring for my tools.
Then I started reflecting on all the things I learned from him.
I was so lucky to have had such a great role model and teacher! And I didn't even realize at the time how much I was learning!!!
I wonder now how much of that knowledge I really passed on to my children.
