Smile First Message

First message ! Hi:
This is first time I have ever used a message board. This is my 70 years old birthday, so I figured it was about time.
I also sent three photo's (first time ever)
Hello to everyone out there, I hope I can meet some of you folks. I am from Saratoga Springs, NY and our race track (Flat track) is full steam ahead for the next few weeks.....Gary Ice Cream

Hey Gary! Welcome aboard. Happy Birthday, but you all should know better than to leave those leather gloves and shoes out like that. Critters may gnaw on them. Very Nice work,,Tom H

You're a youngun, Gary. My grandmother was 90 when she wrote her first poem on a computer. Your carvings are very realistic looking. I really like the hands.
