Tomorrow is my sons last day of high school. My wife and I have hers, mine and ours plus a rental (another story) and this will leave only my little girl left in school. 3 more years and I will have completed the task of seeing 6 out the door.
My boy who is graduating will eventually be doing some woodwork. He pays attention to what I'm doing and wants me to make him a bunch of stuff recently. I can see he appreciates the time and effort into even the simplest things and he's heard me ramble about "this was my dads" ect. I think he will value whatever I make him.
My little chick still refers to me as the "shop nerd" but I'll get her to come around. I betcha I can get her sanding or something in the next 3 years. She's a work in progress, and lord help me, now a high school cheerleader like her older sister.

Antone else have grads this month?

The oldest graduated 6th grade and the middle graduated kindergarten. The youngest starts kindergarten next year.

I am more than a score removed from my own, but two GC have already graduated and one other is entering HS next year, then there is the 9 yr old left.

Sadly none share my 'affliction'!;)

we have a great-granddaughter in 8th grade.

Show off! Yer age is showing!

Me? 'I started late'.

[quote="JPG40504"]Show off! Yer age is showing! ]Me too. I have two young great grand daughters. One born 10/10/2010 and the youngest born 1/25/2012.

We have twin boys. both of them are 32.
One is in Tucson. He's a certified Diesel Mech. and supervises a petroleum products transportation facility. No kids, darn it.
The other one is a MSGT in the AF and is on Okinawa. He and his wife have two kids. A girl age 4 and an a boy age 5.
Both sons seem to enjoy woodworking.....in Dad's shop. Neither has the room for a shop at their homes.

36 year old daughter just graduated from law school at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, FL. Grandchildren are 5 and 2. Grandson wants things made. Waited until I was out of the war before starting and then waited another 5 years. Was in my early 30's when they came along.

Oldest grandson graduates at the end of the month. Starting to get there. Need to think up some things shop made.

My oldest grandson graduates Monday from Joplin High School. If you remember almost a year ago the high school and at least one elementary school were destroyed by an F-5 tornado. The high school is now in a Mall.

The guest speakers for Monday night are Governor Nixon and President Obama. It might be a long ceremony.
