Greetings Marian ..........

Thank you for your kind words .......... I am passionate about the things I love!

Sue has words of wisdom which you should heed; many people are willing to share or trade offsets.

I too receive s.s. - but I am always doing something to bring in extra income. No matter what I want (within reason) - I always find a way to "swing it". Keep in mind that a collection of anything worthwhile is acquired one item at a time. Eventually you find that your "one item at a time" has blossomed into something wonderful. I am willing to scrimp and save .......... and be patient .......... to get the things I desire. So far - God, Life, and my own tenacity have not failed. It is simply a matter of - how much do you want it? I can't speak for you - but it works for me.

I have kept Koi for more than 45 years - and I cannot tell you the amount of joy they give me. The "big" pond is my meditation refuge at dawn each day. I also show my fish - so they fulfill multiple purposes.

Here's another picture ............... Mickey is a Hyacinth Macaw; he's another one of my "partners in crime". He will turn 32 on August 29th. He doesn't know he's a bird - and I'm not about to tell him!
