A lovely little bird in your garden to sing good morning to you!

Catheryn, reading over your post then the appropriate welcoming gift to you would be an set of "bells" near an entryway to your house for people to walk through as in many places over in Africa they are said to scare the "evil" out of people, and insure only good people..with good intentions visit you. At one time I had some lovely clay bells, in an stinged with wood beads in an V-shape..they were very simply made, with an horizontal tree limb hanger to them. Our old Scout family of Doctor Sasson and his son's spent one summer in Africa on Safari recently. This is an man that opened up an near by health clinic for people with no health insurance..it is low cost, but if you can't pay, he asks for some commnunity time in his office helping there...or some local community project to help the area (probably go tthat from our scout troop projects).  He took the ideas of Canada and the island in the South Pacific he grew up in with operating this clinic of his...besides basic health, he does basic dental procedures also.  He also asks for volunteer Doctors and Nurses if possible to help him. It's been so far quite an success over here.
