Thanks, everybody...Andrew thanks you too. Since I had to buy a car this month as well as summer camp, I was kinda low on resources (I guess I haven't been ABSing enough) and all I did for him was get him two Beatles CD's..."Abbey Road" and "Let It Be---Naked"...he likes the Beatles and listening makes him feel older and more sophiticated. Listening to it makes me feel younger and more innocent...a win/win situation all the way around.
And Garth, Just for YOU!!!
The one on the left with the rope loop is mine, the other is Andrew's. We made them about three years ago from some hickory saplings. They have a LOT of miles on them.
Ignore the duck....she's just going to the bathroom in the entryway.
Wish I had the energy to keep up with something like that with my kids. We were keeping track on a wall of the house I owned but after my heart surgery we lost the house and we stopped keeping track. Think I will re-instate the thrill of watching my 7 and 9 year olds grow again. My 14 year old wouldn't be as excited anymore.

We used to do that too, when I was a kid --
only we used the wall by our kitchen doorway to make the marks.
My brother and I would take turns standing there and Dad -- (taller than us then),
would put a yardstick level across the top of our heads, and make a pencil mark.
I forget how old we were when we stoppped doing that. :)

Ron,
You are such a fun dad! Can I come vist with my girls so that you can teach them all these fun things?
Lord knows that this Ney York City gal won't ever teach them how to make a walking stick.
In any case - He seems like a great kid who has a good man for a dad.

You are the coolest dad, Ron. I do hope that Andrew knows what a special dad he has. Even it he doesn't realize it now, he will someday!!!!
