I think I'm a bit older than you; I remember the 1953 DeSoto my dad drove when I was in grade school. It's annoying that you can't hand-adjust the useful settings on todays' engines. My dad saw that I was interested in machinery, and he taught me everything he could, and especially how to use tools correctly and safely. He knew that nothing was going to keep me away from it, so I might as well know how to do it right. And he wasn't put off by superstitions about "a girl can't learn that!", because he'd already seen me learn things.
I'm okay, but I had a few doctors' appointments in distant parts of the state, and each trip killed a day. So I was resting a lot when I could. And, my son and his wife came to visit on the 4th of July. In March, I didn't get a chance to make a birthday cake for my daughter-in-law. She asked me if I'd make her a strawberry-rhubarb pie instead. My son's birthay was July 10, and he loves strawberry-rhubarb pie too. So I baked a pie and stuck a birthday candle in it, and everybody enjoyed it. It was so good to have them here, and to be able to HUG them! But nothing else is new.
