The stars in the deep summer sky above my head faintly pinpoint the depth of the universe, and at the same time tell me that tomorrow will be another clear but humid day. The thoughts of just being able to climb out of bed tomorrow and sit out by the bamboo thicket drinking my morning coffee, being with nature, just make me want to extend that emotion of great things that have been, and even greater things to come, to you, Ruth.
WELCOME to JREF !! Yes, this the correct place to start--THE correct forum, as well as THE correct fora in which to introduce yourself and your plans. Check out the whole forum, do any searches that you can think of--sometimes 'search' doesn't seem to be so efficient, but try it anyway.
Learning what you can before you come, will, indeed, put the 'greatness' in that magic number of '25.' I look forward to talking with you later !! MM
