But then I saw Sandy's cut-outs and she was talking about her scroll saw....unfortunately I didn't have the funds to buy one. :(<br />Then the other day when my stepmom was cleaning out my step-grandfather's house and all his tools and giving everything to Goodwill, I asked "Hey does he have a scroll saw?"...apparently he does. So it looks like cut-outs will be in my future! (once I learn how to use it! LOL!)<br />:) - CindiCindi Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475347748831862659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816547319070776644.post-39456821744654868062011-06-02T10:11:38.380-04:002011-06-02T10:11:38.380-04:00...er painting that typo was (above).

No wonder there why a Vermont dairy farmer would remind you of a Lumby dairy farmer. That life style is worn with pride on their faces/bodies. True salt of the earth. Love it and them.Robin Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588908426898513679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816547319070776644.post-76670574312603571612011-06-02T10:01:27.851-04:002011-06-02T10:01:27.851-04:00That's the second time I used my self portrait...That's the second time I used my self portrait painting. The first being on my initial post back in March (St. Patty's Day-can't forget that) but who reads back that far?

Love you self portrait! The milkman reminds me of my husband's Uncle Ben. He was a dairy farmer in Lumby, BC. Find that on the map! :)Carolehttp://carolereidartist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816547319070776644.post-1044272819081036982011-06-01T12:39:46.946-04:002011-06-01T12:39:46.946-04:00Yes, they sure can be noisy.

Once I came into the house and terrorized the cats because I had the dust mask still on my forhead. I've never seen - before or since - them run so fast ducking under the couch. The moment is burned in my memory: the calico one looking at my eyes and then to the top of my head when it registered. It was turn and bolt after that.Robin Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588908426898513679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816547319070776644.post-76461413990541012572011-06-01T11:43:18.710-04:002011-06-01T11:43:18.710-04:00argh, MILKMAN not MAILMAN!

My father actually worked in a hardware store when I was a little kid, and i can remember him working with hand tools. Fast forward into this century, and I find I can't stand most wood working tools because they are noisy, but I like hand tools!<br />I can remember my father planing a door and the wonderful curls of wood falling on the ground beneath him, for me to play with.. Thanks for the memories.<br />I like the mailman too!Mimi Torchia Boothby Watercolorshttp://mimitabby.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816547319070776644.post-3671978267407929492011-06-01T07:18:20.320-04:002011-06-01T07:18:20.320-04:00Thanks, he's my kind of man.Thanks, he's my kind of man.Robin Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588908426898513679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816547319070776644.post-30047518176752786502011-05-31T22:33:22.319-04:002011-05-31T22:33:22.319-04:00Love the milkman!Love the milkman!Sharin Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17443982733580609740noreply@blogger.com
