Great news, Jeremy! Let the healing begin.

And, Jeremy, since I'm such a curious sort, would you mind telling me what knife, or kind of knife, Kaleb cut himself with?

Holy Cow! I guess y'all should be grateful that he didn't do more damage. That thing's practically a machete! And here I was envisioning a puny little folding knife as the culprit that cut the tendon. That "knife" could have taken his whole hand off!.

I'm really happy to hear that the surgeon was able to repair the damage. Sometimes we pay a heavy price for a moment of carelessness. But the lessons we can learn will last a lifetime. I say that from personal experience!

I love the photograph, btw. And Kaleb certainly is a good looking young man! He must take after his mother? D'oh! Sorry, I had to get one in on ya! lol Have a good weekend...all of you!

Getting to my desk for the first time since returning from Blade, I was so shocked to read this news this morning. Danny and I got to know Clarence and his family over the past two years at the Knife Days show in Wilmington, OH. Our tables were always right next to theirs and what a blessing that turned out to be. He was so gracious, funny, and downright sassy by the time the weekend was over each time.:) I will miss seeing Clarence each year forward, but do hope to remain in touch with Betty, Austin, and Pam.

I pray peace comes quickly for Clarence's family and friends. May God continue to watch over each of them.
