Hi Leslie :)

Looks to me like you are keeping your sanity together pretty good, all you have to do is make a concious decision to love especially when you're down.

You're doing great to keep that old 68 VW Van chugging along.

I had the old VW van that had the porche engine in it. Good grief! I hated it when I had to buy a part for that porche engine, the prices were astronomical for any parts.

Don't worry about sanity, that interfere with creativity....lol

I don't know what you did with your rattlesnakes, but I caught a lot of beautiful diamondback rattlers in the florida everglades. I skinned and tanned them, and sold the hides for a good price at that time which was $5 a foot. Pygmy rattlesnakes were plentiful also. Women loved the rattler earings from those.

By the way, when are you going to share part of another love poem for us to read? They are enjoyable, and so is your artistic photography, its like candy for the eyes. :)

I bet you could write great poetry about everyday life in general that everybody can relate to.

I miss seeing Tina's post on here lately. I love her stories about real life that is so easy to relate to. I hope we can talk her into blogging ;)

Good luck in your jumper cable adventure.

Catcha later Leslie :)
