Working on my new motorcycle today got me thinking about my grandfather. He was a gardener. Simple, honest work that kept us connected to the earth and each other. Family was just down the road and cousins nearby. Who else misses that kind of community? PS: Using this hand file vs my power tools made me think of my Italian Grandfather. I had all his old tools they recently disappeared in New Zealand. I wanted to give them another 80 yrs of sweat. #MarkOBrien #Nostalgia #FamilyRoots #Storytelling #italianamerican
