Years ago I was working in my shop on who knows what and my daughter was helping me the way 9-year-old girls who have no interest in woodworking help their fathers.<BR/><BR/>We had an Indian Guide parade coming up and she decided that we should make a fox for the float. <BR/><BR/>I have no artistic talent so I explained to her that we couldn't do that because it's hard to draw a fox that looks like a fox. She kept bugging me about it until finally I had to just tell her NO it wasn't going to happen.<BR/><BR/>I focused my attention back to whatever it was I was working on and she continued hanging around the shop "helping".<BR/><BR/>After a few minutes she called me over. She had found an old piece of plywood and had drawn a fox on it. She didn't have much artistic talent either but that was one beautiful fox... and it made my heart melt.<BR/><BR/>I grabbed my jigsaw and we cut that fox out and painted it together. <BR/><BR/>It ended up being on the very front of the Indian Guide parade float that year and eveyone loved it.<BR/><BR/>After the parade we mounted it above the door in the garage. <BR/><BR/>That was 19 years ago and we have since moved from that house but that fox is still out there in our garage... and in our hearts reminding me that I should always try even if I don't think I can succeed.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164680959022088394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17337077.post-1161089712307190012006-10-17T08:55:00.000-04:002006-10-17T08:55:00.000-04:00It will be fun.
