Blade Show 2012
I've been struggling with this for more than a month now, and today spoke with the folks who run the Blade Show....as of now, I will not be attending the Blade Show this year.
For those who are not aware, Cindy lost her Dad in late Feb to liver cancer, and just a day or two later we got news that her Mom has colon and liver cancer! We're in the process of trying to get her to come to Montana (she lives in Florida) so that we can take care of her. My first duty is to my God and my family, so I simply cannot be away during what might be a dire time of need for our family. I'm keeping Jim's (Boatbuilder) Hammer-In on the calendar, because I can be back home if needed within a few hours. Really looking forward to that event! On the up side, I generally block off the whole month of May to prepare for the Show, and I just finished clearing out the online calendar, which means that a bunch of dates have opened up for anyone wishing to come for classes! You can view the classes I offer, and the calendar at the following link: http://www.caffreyknives.net/classes.html (the calendar is at the bottom of the page) I apologize to those who were looking forward to visiting with me at the Blade Show this year.....but I'm still going to be working here in the shop, so I'll be here to fill any orders. __________________ WWW.CAFFREYKNIVES.NET Caffreyknives@gmail.com "Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, and all your CONSEQUENCES are a result of your CHOICES."

I'm sure you'll be missed at the show, but I'm certain your family will appreciate your presence greatly. Best wishes for you and your family over the coming months.

You know you'll be missed at Blade, Ed but we completely understand. I think that's great that Cindy's mom can come to GF to be with family. We will continue our prayers for her and the Caffrey family. Please send our love to Cindy and her mother.

Hope it works out to get Cindy's mom closer. I'm sure it gives her a bit of inner comfort knowing she has family looking out for her.
Smooth those bumps in the road best you can, Craig |

Ed, I will miss you in Atlanta.
I've been rather absent from this forum and Chat as I have been dealing with my own demands with a family member since February. Those demands will literally come to an end in a matter of days. Until that day comes, the people in our lives deserve our undivided attention. __________________ Blade Show Table 8-Q What do you do when you see your ex in pain, limping and bleeding? Relax.

Thanks everyone!
I regret that I won't be there for the JS judging, and to congratulate Dana when the judging is over. Karl, Sounds like you have family issues too, and we will keep you in prayer! Just know that we're here to lean on. __________________ WWW.CAFFREYKNIVES.NET Caffreyknives@gmail.com "Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, and all your CONSEQUENCES are a result of your CHOICES." |
