Ahh, well, blacksmith chores I learned! Not a lot but I did learn some. My family knew the skills but I ignored the ones from my mother and my aunts. What a dumb a** I was. Arrogant, male chauvinist,that was me! I do know how to sew on a button, and other things. I can crochet but not knit! Things I thought only a sissy would learn when I was young but things that server me well now.
Changed man now and I wish I had half my mothers skill. I am glad you are so well rounded and if you have single sister(in the 65 or so age range)please give her my user name!:)
My Dad is in his 70’s and he’s looking for a new wife, too. (The last one - not my Mother - was a dud...)
When I find one for him, I’ll make sure SHE has a sister in your age bracket. ;)
