DH knows how to use them. however I get to be in charge of it as long as I promise not to buy a pink one!<BR/><BR/>I have one son who lives close by and works with DH. My other son lives in Rhinebeck, NY and we see about three or four times a year. Makes for a nice road trip every now and then.Sweet Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051024938738245495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946570039091050776.post-9113751522078053522008-08-26T07:50:00.000-04:002008-08-26T07:50:00.000-04:00family bday dinners are great fun :)We just had on...family bday dinners are great fun :)<BR/>We just had one Sun nite for my mom's bday this THurs.

I can't imagine. Well, maybe the puppy will behave and help with the moving.<BR/>Nice tools! I like to have my own tools, too - and my husband knows not to touch them!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379439921083262796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946570039091050776.post-40781045074952481882008-08-24T09:54:00.000-04:002008-08-24T09:54:00.000-04:00How nice to have your own tools.

Maybe having family in different states will give you an excuse to travel and visit them. If not, then at least when they come home again for visits you'll be able to spend blocks of time together.scraphappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472985095648633397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946570039091050776.post-48506390579266163992008-08-24T02:25:00.000-04:002008-08-24T02:25:00.000-04:00My son and brother's birthdays are in August.

August is a good month for birthdays. <BR/>I also have my own tool box and do most of the work needed on the quilting machine and my singers. My pfaffs are more involved so they get to go to the sewing machine shop when they need to which isn't often thank goodness. <BR/>My son lives 20 miles from us and my daughter and grandkids are 3000 miles away. I'm glad the cats don't grow up and leave home. When is your birthday I know when Amanda's is.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684233135863641715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946570039091050776.post-53277055108021719742008-08-23T19:36:00.000-04:002008-08-23T19:36:00.000-04:00Hi Candacegreat tohear that you all had a lovely f...Hi Candace<BR/>great tohear that you all had a lovely family dinner for the birthdays. great idea getting presents when it isn't even your birthday!<BR/>My children are both in Canberra which is about 4 hours drive......it makes us put more effort into our visits so that we spend 'quality' time together.<BR/>They went to uni there so we have had that distance between us for some time now. <BR/>We all speak on the phone regularly and email and visit as often as time & work allows. It works well and we are all happy - that is important!<BR/>You are a modern grandmother - you will be able to email! <BR/>Take care<BR/>VanessaAussie Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155127406557222737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946570039091050776.post-87588250417422903462008-08-23T18:01:00.000-04:002008-08-23T18:01:00.000-04:00Don't the tools look great, all packaged up like t...Don't the tools look great, all packaged up like that. I love visiting hardware shops, the smell is so evocative. I imagine having family in different states is like us having family in Scotland or Wales.
