Greetings all, it is so nice to be back home. Went off for a little vacation to Halifax, Nova Scotia: ate too much, spent too much, walked too much, drove too much and generally had too much fun.....so I'm paying for it now. Never lifted a carving knife the whole time I was away.....so I'm suffering with-drawl symptoms!!!

SOOO many messages to catch up on, it will take a while. But it is good to be back and to see that you all have been busy while I was away.

I did get to visit a great Hardwood Importer (East Coast Specialty Hardwood) and pick up some unique wood for future canes! Wow, what a shop, woodcarvers heaven!!! So much wood, so little money! Didn't have what I was looking for though.... no Holly or a nice piece of Butternut.

Did manage to buy a new camera though! Just have to figure out how to turn it on now!

Nice to see all my friends here again, I missed ya.
