Carpentry

Bud worked with his father building houses in KC.
This skill followed him as he added living space for his growing family.

Another Add On!

Every House Had an Improvement!

Bud added on to every home he lived in, and he did the work himself!

Gardening

Many, many vegetables and fruits graced the family and neighborhood tables . . . Bud shared the fruits of his labor with all that needed or wanted.

Flowers,Too

Bud was a stickler for a neat, clean yard. He loved flowers as well as the fruit & vegetable garden.

Jigsaw Buff

Bud always had a jigsaw puzzle in play. He always said the harder the better. But, he did glue the ones that he spent many hours on onto boards--not just to admire them, but so he'd never have to do them again!

My Vision Is Blurred!

Too long staring at the puzzle!

The Duffer

Bud loved golf . . . he was pretty good, too!

A Fisherman He Never Was . . .

Sorry, fishing never really was his sport. I think this was the biggest he ever caught.
