My son-in-law was telling me that he was trimming limbs in the yard yesterday. My oldest granddaughter (who is 6) was with him. He cut one limb that had a straight section about 2 foot long, and the bark came off, showing the smooth wood underneath. My granddaughter said "Hey! Save that one to make a bow with! Its smooth and straight!" He told her it was too short to make a bow, but she replied "its not too short. We can make something with it."
After he told me this I looked at her and she just grinned. She told me "We can find somebody to use that little bow can't we?"
I gave here a hug and told her we would figure out something to make with it.
Its the biggest smile I have had in a long time. You gotta love grandkids!
