Back in 2003 Joe went to a gun show where upon he purchased a sword. When he got home he excitedly showed me his new purchase. I looked at him strangely and said, "what are you going to do with that?" Joe took the sword and attached the sheath to his belt. He then stood on his tippy toes, because at 6 foot 2 inches he was not tall enough for it to hang properly, and said "this" as he quickly drew the sword and posed with it up in the air, as if he were posing to defend his army.
I laughed at him!
Seriously, he was 40 years old with a brand new play toy!
Big boys, big toys!
Joe was proud of that sword and besides, not everyone had a sword!
Since his death I have looked at that sword and thought, "what am I supposed to do with that?"
The grandchildren however, think it IS the coolest thing ever.
Here are some pictures of Joe's grandchildren posing (very carefully) with his sword. . .
Joe would have been so happy his grandchildren see
the majesty
of the
sword!
And, the parents posing with the sword. . .
