These are beautiful boxes. Good job and I hope you get the same longevity.

They both look very sprightly and youthful for their ages in those photos too. They (and you) were very blessed.

Brian,

Thanks. Yes, my parents aged well. When we tried to guess the ages of people at the nursing home where we volunteer, I would always compare them with my parents and think they must be at least 150! LOL

What a blessing that your folks had such long lives! And how meaningful that you made these urns—A beautiful way to honor them. I bet you’ll be making beautiful things for a VERY long time…

Cindy,

Thanks for your encouraging remarks. My parents worked hard their whole lives and stayed in good shape. I can’t say the same for myself☹️. I should stay off this computer and work harder and maybe I’d live longer☺️. However, I am hoping for a few more years . . . unless the rapture comes first ? [which could be any moment given the condition of this world].
