Good Morning,
I hope that this finds each of you doing well because my household has been a sick one with bronchitis and sinus infections. I just pray that we are all "on the mend" now and that I don't come down with it as my schedule is over full for the next 3 weeks.

I had an invitation to go do some woodworking shopping with Mark Cothren and friends on Saturday but I needed to stay home because I was the chief cook, cleaner, patient minder, and bottle washer. So maybe next time Mark.

You know, sometimes life throws us several "curve balls" and we struggle with what to do. Due to many things happening in my life, I've given a lot of thought about selling all my woodworking tools and moving on, but I just can't seem to bring myself to do it. I fought, scraped, and struggled for 25 years to get to where I am today in my woodworking shop and I've been able to accomplish several things in my woodworking skillset along the way and I've learned a ton from all my internet woodworking friends. I guess I've said all this to say....I'm not selling out. I've just needed some time to sort things out, settle into a manner of living that is different than what I've been used to over the past 52 years. I am really, just now, starting to understand all the life changes that we've had over the past 2 years and the financial weight of carrying some of that weighs heavy and causes us to think about selling all that we've fought for....in hopes that we can survive, love, and move on. Thanks to some close woodworking friends that keeps asking me questions about woodworking things....I'm beginning to see some saw dust sparks fluttering about in my minds eye once again.

Thanks for listening to me and putting up with all my babble. That's it for me, so what did YOU do this past weekend?

Best of weeks to you all from Conway, AR......
