Turns fallen trees into kindling

Ladies, learn to use power tools!  It’s so much fun.  Of course, this time of year, it’s cold here in our neck of the woods, and my mom’s wood-burning stove uses lots and lots of wood.  My wonderful cousins brought us wood today, and it was such fun to visit with them while they split and we stacked it all.   While we were working, I was remembering the great time we had years ago when we lived in Plainview and the community decided to collaborate on a Robert Leather’s wooden playground for one of our city parks.  I spent all of one day routing all four long edges of zillions of two-by-fours, two-by-sixes and two-by-eights.  I am so thankful that my dad allowed me to be the son he never had, and taught me to do all sorts of “guy” stuff.  I was a tomboy anyway, so I really loved it all.  The point of all this is to encourage you to try new things.  It keeps you interesting and interested.  And you will never be bored if you can use a chainsaw!  Ditto for a drill, circular saw, tiller, tractor….
