It was a day of ominous skies and dreadful expectations in Ky. I spent some time in a protected area when a "take cover" warning came over the radio. But, the worst hit was the towns just 20 miles north of KY in Indiana. I feel that many of us are fortunate to still have our homes after this scary day. thanks for thinking of me -- very nice of you to do so. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-91709646590486377152012-03-02T16:24:06.823-08:002012-03-02T16:24:06.823-08:00Sweet old chair - but my main reason for commentin...Sweet old chair - but my main reason for commenting on your blog is that I'm seeing tornado warnings for Paintsville, KY and know you've blogged about that town several times, so I'm concerned about you and your area!

I suppose some toys for children are still being made by menfolk. When my children were young my former husband made some fantastic building blocks for them. But of course that was years ago and times have changed -- in so many ways!

I suggest a grandfather is also a likely creator. Do fathers or grandfathers ever make things for their little ones today? Can the little ones appreciate it when it's so different from the plastic junk from the big toy department?June Calenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265808476144632255noreply@blogger.com
