En Casa De Herrero, Cuchillo De Palo


Yesterday afternoon I was forced to call to mind the indigenous proverb I had often heard growing up, which when translated means "in the house of the blacksmith there is a wooden knife".  My son, who was walking barefoot outside, got a rose splinter on the sole of his foot.  I of course rushed to my home first aid kit in search of my trusty old black drawing salve and realized that I had none.  I had sold the last one and failed to prepare a second one for our kit!  I was VERY frustrated and had to resort to the agonizing tweezers.  He was not very happy either.  Lesson learned: ALWAYS, ALWAYS stock up your home aid kit FIRST!!!
