Cutting Boards

I was doing my usual blog reading this morning and saw that Marty talked about a couple of her cutting boards.  I told her I would show mine also....
It isn't that I have cute boards...she has me beat on that! But I have a memory story on one of them.

 This cutting board is about 18 years old.  It is probably one of my most precious possession!  ???
When my daughter was about 11 years old, she was in 4H.  One day while I was at work, and Dad was probably watching TV!  a friend of hers came over and they worked on making a floor mat for one of the fair competitions.  They had to nail pop bottle lids on a piece of board.  They used my cutting board that I had to go under the nails....and it ruined the cutting board.  My daughter was all upset, thinking I would be angry, which I might have been to be honest.  She and her friend, got on their bikes and went about 3 blocks to a Pamida store, like a K-mart.  She took her piggy money and bought me this cutting board to replace the one she damaged.  Seriously, it brings tears to my eyes as I tell this story.  I cherish that memory.  I don't cut on it anymore...it sits under my oil and salt and pepper bowls by our stove.

 This apple cutting board, my husband saw at CB and wanted to buy it for me...I love the little apple knife.

 This little cutting board is really old...like about 30 years or more.  It was a gift from Ro and it had a chunk of cheese on it.  It slices cheese.  I tell you, I love this thing...cuz, I love me some cheese!

 This is the board I use whenever I am cooking.  I bought it when we moved into this house at Ross.  I like that it is round.

And this knife was handmade by the Amish in Michigan.  My friend Kathy gave me a whole set last Christmas and I think they are wonderful!!

Well, you didn't know  I could make a post out of cutting boards...but I did!!  Do you have any favorite cutting boards??
