Ronni Bennett of Time Goes By has been pushing elderbloggers to post a photo of themselves and their quarterstaff''s, or walking sticks. I tried doing it myself, putting the camera on top of the car, etc, but with limited success. So this morning I dressed in my best (car washing) clothes and asked Laurae to take the picture. I think it turned out quite well.
The stick, sadly, is not a natural. I went commercial because I wanted sturdy and this one is solid Ash; baseball bat strength. And it was custom made at what I thought was a very reasonable price by the Brazos Stick Co. I called them and asked if they could make their standard sticks a little bit longer... and they can. And no, I have no connection with them and I didn't get a free stick. I just thought they were nice people.
I absolutely love your walking stick. It suits you. What's it for?
ReplyDeleteWalking? Oh, yes...and for dogs!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah and spider webs on your walk to open the irrigation gate! I forgot.
ReplyDeleteBrazos? Does that mean you live in Texas? Bryan-College Station? That's a fabulous staff--that can double as a bat! Is there a link to the Brazos stick company?
ReplyDeleteLink? Yep! It may not show all that well, but just click on the words, 'Brazos Stick Co. That should take you there...
