My mom always wanted a swing on a porch. She had one for many years before she passed away. I am so thankful for that. The tale of your grandfather passing down his talent and thinking of the now 86 year old making the handles...just makes me tear up. We need to love our elders as long as we can. Enjoy this weekend .

I love you poem as usual, about the swing...yes if it could talk it would have many tales to tell... <br />How great for your grandfather to be making those handles and giving new life to a tool.Coming from the huge family as he did, it probably gave him a respect to look after tools and he has kept that. New tools today are so cheap and weak...not made to last as they used to be. xxxSr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-81143618949127865012012-06-21T16:34:10.514-07:002012-06-21T16:34:10.514-07:00Thank you Lise, I wish I could join you..I bet it&...Thank you Lise, I wish I could join you..I bet it's peaceful on your mountain..Susie Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052734156809316397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-15301492735717610362012-06-21T14:00:27.576-07:002012-06-21T14:00:27.576-07:00What a beautiful memory!
