I have a walking stick that I use when we go off roading in our Jeep... it has helped keep me from falling on more than one occasion. <br />Enjoy the freedom of no cane... yours have so much character I don't think I'd mind using one of those at all.Capt Elaine Magliacanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919763270702138153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-56309245909063654862012-12-11T08:41:38.833-06:002012-12-11T08:41:38.833-06:00Well, hooray, Elva, glad he doesn't need them ...Well, hooray, Elva, glad he doesn't need them now!

I hope when the time comes that I will be able to look on my "helpers" with the same love and affection that's evident in this sketch. Its a really cool collection of wood too, just begging to be re-arranged and sketched again!<br />Enjoy the good days, and may there be many more!spinningdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211231649784777346noreply@blogger.com
