Your children were probably like mine -- no one showed Brenna what to do. She just did it. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment, Michelle. I appreciate it.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-74509804759261709332016-03-17T23:58:04.672-04:002016-03-17T23:58:04.672-04:00Yes, I was thinking the same thing -- about a holi...Yes, I was thinking the same thing -- about a holiday for everything. All I need to do is think of what I want to blog about then search for that holiday. Ha ha.<br /><br />I suppose in their day, those old staplers were really common but I don't see many of them in use these days. (Brenna didn't play with this one, just the newer one.) <br /><br />Your explanation of your father's work with the canal company is almost like a foreign language to me -- with crank seal presses, water shares, and water master -- not having grown up in an area where canals delivered water to farms. It's too bad your brother wasn't able to keep the "inheritance" of your father's and grandfather's jobs.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-77155208396836769042016-03-17T22:35:50.962-04:002016-03-17T22:35:50.962-04:00My kids made little envelopes like Brenna did too ...My kids made little envelopes like Brenna did too and put all kinds of little cut out notes in them.

He didn't let us play with it however. He kept it with his canal company paperwork. Perhaps it even belonged to them, as did the old crank seal presses that he used to affix the seals to the water shares that were bought and traded. He was both the secretary of two canal companies as well as the water master. His father and his grandfather had the job before he took over. After my father's death in 2012, my brother tried to fill the gap, but, sadly after about a year, the job finally passed out of our family. Interesting post, Nancy! There seems to be a holiday for everything huh?Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-66691927634191333832016-03-16T01:07:01.105-04:002016-03-16T01:07:01.105-04:00Thanks, Carol.
