• Childhood Toy

  We finally got the AC serviced today. Even though it didn't make much of a difference to the amount of cool air blowing through the vents (think 1970s central cooling system design... a 3 bedroom condo air-conditioning unit powered by just two fans). The technicians needed to get to the fans without risking any damage to any of our property, so they had us remove anything that was on the top shelf of our walk-in wardrobe. So while i was wiping the dust of the many Royal Dalton figurines before Hubbie placed them back on the shelf, he pulled out this lil wooden container of children play blocks.

  

  The story behind these blocks - they were a gift to Hubbie by my FIL. He had painstakingly cut these blocks one by one from 2x4s, sanded, painted and lettered each block by hand. Wow! Hubbie hopes to pass this toy onto our children and if they don't take care of this precious toy that their grandfather had lovingly made for their father i'm going to whip their lil tooshies.
