The most thoughtful and memorable gift my parents ever gave me was a set of three gloves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gift was so thoughtful as each glove represented a sport that I was keenly interested in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These were gifts on my birthday when I was in my early twenties and I still have these gloves, almost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first pair are cross country ski gloves. A wool inner liner and a very supple leather outer cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second pair were for sailing. They got used sailing with friends on their boats or when skippering my Fireball. Now a days I’m using them on the Oarboard for rowing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protection from lines and sheets and now oars. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The third pair is the “almost” pair as they were stolen \u2639\ufe0f. This pair were Solomon down hill ski gloves made extra special by a large “S” on the back of the hand for Solomon or was it for Stewart??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway on a cool day I was riding my Honda 550F and parked it to briefly go into a store. I locked the Helmut to the bike and stuffed the gloves in the Helmut. A short time in the store and the gloves were gone when I came out. I still miss those gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glove trio remind me of my parents love and the effort and thoughtfulness behind the gift. I remember them fondly when use these gloves many years later. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
