this last november, my oldest daughter and i took a class from kenny mayes from crawfordsville. we made a couple of great BOW pens thanks to kennys patience. i had turned before (some) but the daughter had not. kenny helped her through it and after all was said and done, we were both hooked. we had a fantastic day together and had a great time working with ken.
as soon as i got home, i started ordering the tools and equipment i would need to get us going. it started coming in but we ran into a problem.
i started to get more and more tired. to make a very long story shorter, i spent 9 days in bloomington hospital followed by 2 weeks at home followed by 2 back to back(same day) surgeries to first, replace a heart valve and part of an aorta, the second to repair the leak from the first one.
point is, that was a great day spent with my oldest. we learned a new passion and even though delayed, we are going forward as soon as the doc clears me. she is excited about turning and the business end, i'm excited about breathing normaly and turning (i heard the gasps of putting turning second).
the recovery period has given me a chance to meet a bunch of great people through all the threads. i have learned so much.
i want to thank those responsible for this great site, for kenny's help and patience, for all the helps and comments from the members here and for the great time my daughter had on that most memorable day.
