Well it's happened - I can't think of anything to write about so I'll fall back on the tried and true - a cute grand kid story.  My grandchildren like to create ornaments from tiny wax beads which are arranged into colorful designs and then fused together with a hot iron.  As I was ironing one of my youngest granddaughter's creations she said to me, quite seriously, "Nana, what's an iron for really?"  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  She's certainly never seen me demonstrate ironing.  In fact, I was recently embarrassed when a friend visiting overnight asked to borrow my iron and I couldn't find it!
