Several times my hubby mentioned to me that he noticed the firemen running along our road to keep in shape. I finally managed to get a photo of them about a month ago as they ran by...

| I appreciate all our fire-fighters! Such brave, dedicated public servants! |
Also about a month ago, my hubby started teaching our grandson how to tie different knots....
 |
| Getting ready...the first one he learned was the square knot. |
 |
| Lashing two poles together using a clove hitch. My tray table had to suffice for practice! :-) |
 |
| In a rescue by a helicopter, you tie a bowling knot in the rope they drop you. |
 |
| Silly kid! :-) |
Whop, whop, whop, whop....the helicopter takes off, and he dangles beneath it on the life-line! :-)

That's awesome! I remember my grandfather teaching me those knots. It's embarrassing but I've forgotten how to put some of them together;) You have firemen and we have college runners down our street.
Neat picture of the firemen keeping in shape... Love it.
AND--it's so neat that your grandson has such a tremendous relationship with his grandfather.. That is so special.
Hugs,

Great pictures you show. Nice that you got a picture taken of the fire the men. Beautiful pictures of your grandson. Wishing you a good Friday / good weekend :) Hugs Hanne Bente
Love the last shot!
Years ago when I served time as a Boy Scout Den Leader I could do knots. Not so much these days. :)
Oh that silly grandson!! Looks like he's enjoying the knot lesson.
Morning Marie...No, I didn't hear anything about the Hillcrest hospital doing any sort of readiness training...and of Course you can use the picture of Pray for West! So sweet!

love the line of firefighters! :)
*haha* The pictures of your grandson all tied up are just too cute, Marie~ he is quite a ham! :)
Glad you got those firefighters Marie, God Bless them all :) And what a neat grandpa/grandson thing to do, and something that you can use your whole life too. Great post!
Fun post, love that last picture! :)
They look as though they are having so much fun tying knots. I love that last photo!
grandpop time, family time...nothing beats those memories!!
Cool shot of the firefighters! Glad your grandson is learning to tie different knots! That's a lost skill these days.
These knots will come in handy one day! Spending time like this will have such a beautiful memory later..
I bet your grandson is enjoying the knot tying :-) I sent you an email suggesting meeting, but will call you tomorrow if I don't hear from you! Thought you might see a message here sooner than an email.
How fun! Love the last photo!
Such great pictures of some good fun. Such a sweet picture at the end!
It's awesome that your husband can teach your grandson how to tie knots, he looks like he is really enjoying it!
