Favorite Things: Toy Truck

I’ve run out of scanned old photos and the thought of digging out another one, scanning it and posting it, makes my brain hurt. (Can you tell today was busy?) Instead of a Saturday’s Old Photo, let’s post a Favorite Things photo, because I already have a couple of those.

This is a toy truck made by my husband. I think it’s made of oak, but what do I know?

He made several of these. Both sons have one, a couple of friends have them, and maybe a cousin or two. This one is an extra, so it’s never been used. I suppose you could say it’s our display model.

The ones the boys have are not nearly so pristine, but it’s hard to haul loads of  building material for wooden block houses without getting a chip or two. This truck is versatile, too: Take the racks off the back and you’ve got flat bed, in case you need to haul a toy car or boat.

Seeing that truck brought tears to my eyes. Evidence of a father's labor of love. I know how you must miss him.

What a precious gift to have. You can show it to your grandchildren some day.
