Reflections at 60

Well, it's happened...I just turned 60--that age that I thought was so ancient when I was 30. What happened? 60 just doesn't seem so old anymore; maybe just wiser. At least I can hope so. It is an ominous occasion, but it was made sweeter by the surprise appearance of my family and friends...thanks to my dear Liebe....

Just trying to work with all of this. I know there is good ahead, and I am trying to sort that all out. Stay tuned as I do so :)

A long time...

It's been a long time since I came back here....more than 6 months. The last post was just after Christmas. The Woodshop at Kershaw Creek is getting closer to reality...perhaps two years now! That is a good thing, as this blogger turns 60 in two days.

Most recently I got myself a carving knife and a block of bass wood at Woodcraft and am trying my hand at some carving...first a fish key chain. It is not as easy as it might look, particularly with my post-surgery hand. But, I am determined to do this and see what happens.

More importanly, I am very much interested in getting into boatbuilding. While I contemplated taking a week-long class in Beaufort, I did not have the prerequisite class for that, which I will take in July. I can't wait.

More on that as I get closer to the event.

So, don't think there is anyone even looking at this blog. I guess that's ok. Perhaps I should send it around to family and friends?
