I was going to explain the WHY in the end, but instead decided to do it first. Myra has learned a wonderful art she is fantastically devoted to it. I want to promote an income for her doing something she enjoys. I am hoping to get my daughter involved in the internet / promotional and hard copy part of this operation. She is very artistically oriented and excellent at websites. She just needs a bit more experience. Daryl, I hope to teach to be a webmaster. That is a future here, without a doubt.

I have made a minor mention of Connie Santos a couple of times in my videos. Now I have permission I want to say thank you very much Connie. Myra is really dancing around like a kid. She loves raising the chickens and making the videos. We jumped a month or two ahead because of your help. Thank you very much, Connie. The chickens are a little more than a week away from their 35 days. I never could believe a chicken could grow so fast. The industry I was in was for laying birds so my point of observation was different based on a 24 week to production cycle. To see this 35 days till end of production is fantastic. Myra loves the idea of making extra income and is proud it is working. Please subscribe and comment if you enjoy our videos.

Among the many questions I have ask Cris Bamboo one was Why Bamboo wall thickness varies in the bamboo poles. He explains it in this video. Each bamboo stalk has various thicknesses. The nearer the base the thicker the stalk. With that is consideration when a piece of bamboo is used The first 4-6 feet are are used to make support structure, the next 20 feet as flooring. The thinner walled top section is used as will covering. Now I understand what the youngest brother told me when he sai. " We look at a piece of bamboo and know where we will use the pieces.

We have a nice setup to work at and are producing 8.5x11 marbles. The effort to learn how to marble has paid off, the marbles are coming out fine. We are doing mostly pastel colors because they are background papers. They will be painted on, drawn on, and stamped to make greeting cards and Artist Trading Cards. The ox gall makes an astounding difference. The paints can be mixed very thin to get a pastel and the paper still absorbs almost all the floating color.
