A New Treasure

I have been drooling over these wooden growth charts for a while now. Not too long ago I e-mailed the idea to my Dad hinting at a Christmas present for the future. Last time I was out at the Acreage, my Dad was out in the garage working away and he came in and surprised me with my very own wooden ruler. He is a pretty busy guy, so the fact that he took time out of his day to do this for me really meant a lot. He built a jig to help him router out the lines evenly and took care finishing the edging. We then worked together painting the tick marks, sanding, and staining the board. I will never forget how loved I felt when he walked into the house to show me what he had been working on when he could have been doing a million other things. I love my Dad. This will definitely be a treasure for our family and a constant reminder of how much my Dad loves me.
