Valentine
A time to remember
Loving hands
Endurance
New things from old wood
T-shirts & hot rods
Invitation to ride
No one quite like you
Easy going friendships
My brother Owen was born on Valentine's Day. I wrote this acrostic poem especially for him. Owen, a former cabinet maker, a definate master with wood. One year he made each of his five sisters & his mother keepsake trunks for Christmas. Just a few years ago when visiting his workplace he showed me the beautiful coffins he handcrafted.
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
