So, my lovely daughter, 15 years old, today..... TODAY.... December 23rd decides that she wants a chessboard and pieces for Christmas....
If she had told me even a week ago, I could have easily made her one, but no, she had to wait until today to decide..... she is working on getting her full fledged woman card early I think (no offense ladies!)
OK, I'm going to try to do this, make a nice board, and buy some plastic pieces (YUCK!) then before she leaves for Canada in March I'll try to make the pieces on my lathe.....sigh.... I've been asking her for about six months what she wants, this is the last Christmas that she will spend at home as our kid, I hope she comes back at some time but she'll never be a kid again living under our roof.
To the dungeon I got, need to figure out how big the squares should be....
Cheers...... the Christmas kind.....
