Which reminds me...a couple of years ago you sent me some of your hand-made cards (I think as a prize for guessing snowfall or snow melt). I carefully saved one featuring a country road in fall, so I'd have it for a special occasion. On Sept. 4 I gave it as a 105th birthday card to a friend I've known for 65 years! The occasion was important and the card was perfect.

Those are lovely! Yes, Uncle Otto would be very pleased to see all the beautiful things you and Fr Guy have carved. My SIL's Dad is a carver (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), Jim Sanders. He used to go to all the shows and I bet you probably rubbed elbows at some time without even knowing it. He's done some beautiful pieces and sells them at high prices. He's got cancer right now in his 70's but doing okay. I can't believe you're all done with your Christmas carvings but then I understand how you want to get them done outside. I'm not carving but I need to get outside and do some painting and maintenance before it gets too cold. I think I have time as I am still running the ac occasionally. Have a great day! I'm catching up with you as usual.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-67701038700799090532016-09-14T08:30:02.142-05:002016-09-14T08:30:02.142-05:00Uncle Otto would be proud of your daisy - I think ...Uncle Otto would be proud of your daisy - I think it looks amazing!MTWagginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823827748782425907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-10468972607380402522016-09-13T23:54:56.564-05:002016-09-13T23:54:56.564-05:00I just assumed from seeing some of your work that ...I just assumed from seeing some of your work that you have been carving for many years!
