Speaking of creating, if this doesn't make you guys both feel good and weep, I don't know what will! Simply amazing.

Allen, That's a great list! What is it about doing stuff like having pickles out of a barrel? Or going into a garden to get your own vegetables? My family comes from farmers, so anything having to do with nature or growing is big with me. And you're not shallow because you don't like this or that! You're just being you!

Thanks, Pat, but I have to save every single penny these days!

Nicky, Isn't Colbert the funniest and smartest guy around? I wish I could paint again. It's just too much.

What I really miss are road trips. I'm glad I got around our country so much when I was younger.
