I'm building one for her daddy (my oldest son) now, but she looks like she would make a good luthier someday.

Gotta stop messing around and get out to the shop.

Don't blame you for that. She looks to be full of vim and vigor. Kind of hard for an "Old Man" to keep up with too I bet.

Thanks for sharing the pic of your granddaughter, Ron.

Looks like a bunch of firewood in your future. Oak guitar sets anyone?

[QUOTE=Hesh1956]

By the way what's up with the "Old Man" screen name you do not look an old guy to me [/QUOTE]



Thanks, Hesh

You know, I get up in the morning feeling fairly young, but when I look in the mirror there's an old man looking back.        At least there's still a lot of folks older than me. Not as many as there used to be, though.
But it doesn't matter, I'm a happy man. (I'll be 58 on St. Patrick's Day, Bruce, since you're in Ireland, I thought you might like to know).

I actually took the picture a month or so ago. The grass isn't green anymore, but the daffodils are blooming. That tree blew down three months ago, but it had already died. I had a swing in that tree when I was 3 years old, the same age as my granddaughter.

She is a cuttie.... having family around is what it's all about.

Say? What kind of log is she sitting on? Oak?

Thanks for sharing that beautiful picture Ron. She sure is a cutie... Could it be that grandpa spoils her a bit sometimes?
