Wow! Thanks Susan! I love knowing I accompanied truly stong coffee and great pie! and brought on some smiles! I love your writing style,....and yes, the pressure is on....sometimes it is just the getting started--once you start there is really no stopping! I'm awaiting a box via the mails (wimberley enterprises) so I will have a static and real object to stare me down, and remind me to go for it!! ..I'm always many projects ahead (in my mind, stacked up in a cranial log jam!)....no partners in…

I'm awaiting a box via the mails (wimberley enterprises) so I will have a static and real object to stare me down, and remind me to go for it!! ..I'm always many projects ahead (in my mind, stacked up in a cranial log jam!)....no partners in crime,,,,(that I can really get commitments from anyway) so I tread forward to the goal,....knowing there is help and tons of enthusiam here is a real blessing! I might enlist the help of local woodworking group members for neck details....the "want" might make me braver! LOL..in the course of survival I've parted with many things,,,my deering banjo, well, that was a VERY sad day, and parting. SO,...still without funds, I think .I must build one myself..:-).....thanks again,....the sharing of the fun w/me...the music has to go somewhere,..it is therapy for me. a banjo at a swap meet led me here....that what come out is appreciated, is golden;-)thankyou.<br />
