Happy Spring!
Over on the Paper, Paint, Pencils & Pens blog at the beginning of the month we were sketching things from the kitchen. I decided to sketch two things that I have from Dad. He had a few beer steins, but I really only remember him using them when his best friends came over. After he passed away I wanted one of the steins. The other one that I remember had a top attached to it.
I'm not sure where that one is or who in the family has it.

The other thing of Dad's that I have is his honing stone for sharpening knives. My mom made a roast beef almost every Sunday, and before carving the roast he would take out his special big knife that he kept in a box and that nobody else ever used. Then he would start to sharpen it. I was always fascinated to watch him slowly pull the knife across the stone over and over. I'm sure from week to week the knife must have been sharp enough, but he would make sure it was so he could cut the roast beef extra thin. You really had to watch our for your fingers when Dad sharpened the kives...just like you had to watch out when my mother decided to wax the floor. lol
Here is dad's honing stone with my knife, not his.
