I really do have everything! I do! Because the only thing that I really need is Jesus and God in my life! The rest just falls into place, because I don't worry about fame, money, success, clothing, status, or anything else that seems to concern the "normal" world today.

But...I've been secretly wanting to get a turtle now for the past 25 years or so.

Last Monday, I GOT ONE!!!!!!! Yay! He's a Red-Ear Slider. I named him Sprout (after the Jolly Green Giant's nephew). He's about the size of a Kennedy coin. He eats tiny little pebbles that look like fruity-pebbles. I bought him a coconut shell house and installed a tiny little satelite dish on top for him. I'm going to find some of those light-up rice-lights and hang them on his home.

Other than that...I love home-made Christmas presents.
I used to have little pet turtles....they actually sold little plastic molded trays with a path that climbed, a pond and a fake coconut tree you stuck in a little hole.
The real coconut is better, trust me.
Ha! I haven't remembered that in ages!
Thanks for the memory.
Enjoy Sprout~
