Well, it started off when I was talking about wood inlay, how neat it looks, and my dad started telling a story about his great grandfather (my great great great?) and how he
graduated” in 8th grade and went off to become a cabinetmaker, until the depression hit and he had to find a job at a dairy and his grandmother (my great grandmother?) was at a sewing factory, and that a few of the really neat pieces we have at home, he made! Isn’t that something!!

In the end, after sorting the money out, I made about as much as a normal summer paycheck at work, but I feel I gained anyway, since I was outside all week, met new people from a… Read how I did it…
