other testimonials
speaking of pics, Mike, the photographer, came by today w/his digital camera and photographed the masks, cat pillows, fairy rag ladies and gourd bird houses!
He also brought me some gold fish for my tub pond & took me to store so I could buy dog and cat food.
You'll be seeing masks, etc, in the next few days.
A real gentleman, no?
