YO!!! WELCOME BACK :-)))))
Thanks for that lovely story. I just love hearing stories about people's families going way back.
I'm really glad you're back & I don't feel like hitting you - just hugging you!
I really love that story & the (what my daughter & I call) 'water engineering'. Daughter & I LOVE diverting water. We haven't had much of an opportunity to use rocks to do so. Our most memorable water engineering involves dirt & mud & one time was instrumental in saving our tents from being waterlogged from the floor upwards during a torrential rainfall when we were camping & only once it was raining, realized that our WONDERFUL in-view-of-the-water-campsite was also at a curve in the road & at the bottom of a gradual 3-foot elevation...in other words, the water was pouring down onto our whole campsite! [that sentence was about 77 words!]
I love the story about the clocks. What a very clever marketing idea. Sounds like you had some smart cookies in your family!
hugs, Kath
