Title: My Birthday Girl
Post by: Magicman on August 22, 2012, 06:51:03 PM
Actually it is our Great Granddaughter and she will be two this weekend.  When you have a Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother pushing the same button and you realize that the button is you, well it is time to get busy.  They had conspired for me to put one of those "two year old" swing sets together for the party.

My cellphone kept ringing and two saw jobs came in while I was in the assembly mode.  Now I've got to get to sawing.

"The hand that rocks the cradle, Rules the World", comes to mind. :)

Thanks for the song tyb.  Yup, this is the third generation that I have put swing sets together for.  Alas, I suppose that this will be my last, but I fully intend to squeeze the goody out of this time.   smiley_love

Way to go MM. I went to Galatin, Tn and built one for my grandkids 10 yrs ago. They still enjoy playing on it. They are good for kids. bg

Because of Isaac, I had forgotten that I did take a couple of pictures.

She knew that I wanted her to smile and was purposefully not looking at me.   ;)

I changed a couple of the original swings.

Dear Lynn, I did not have your email or phone number but found you on this website. 5 weeks from this Wednesday, I need you to mill about 9200 BF of Sweet Gum for me. The pay will be extremely good and a bonus will be paid after the job if it is sawn in 7 days.

Please let me know soon as I know you do excellent work.

Thank-You.
Leroy Wellborne

Thanks for that picture Magicman, all it takes is a smile like that to completely change a mood from bad to good, good job and good luck on the elk hunt.
