Hands

It is amazing what your hands show.

These are the hands of Claron & his 93 year old grandfather, Grandpa Brown.

Grandpa has done amazing things with those hands. He worked making tools for Kennecot. He built a house from the ground up. He raised three wonderful women and one man. He's held numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. He's guided two ladies through senility... and the list keeps going. He's still as sharp as a tack and the most healthy person of his age that I have ever met.

C'mon, let's give Claron's hands a little credit! I mean, no senility guiding, but I'm sure he's been busy too.

Poor Claron has to deal with me. I think I'm worse than senile.

You told me about this picture, but I teared up when I saw it. Lovely.
