One of my favorites. His are some of the few books I brought with me to Portugal. Love, love, love him! An artistic genius.

Love the zine and collage work. (My Mom made some cool collages back in the day.)

Yup, writer, artist, musician. Well, used to be musician. Your ´don't give a pluck´ is extra funny for me since I am a retired professional harpist. :0! Am hoping to have a harp again someday soon.

I sold my gold concert harp so that we could come to Portugal.

Got you on the old lady in training, I am already there. Not too keen on it either. It is depressing watching yourself decompose in real time. Everyday closer to death is ok with me. ;)

Not an easy road being an artist either. You go girl!

I love the collage Shanna, very artistic! So, you love poetry too! What are your musical tastes? I can picture you sat in your chair with headphones and music emanating and you lost in your own world, dreaming of being in Vienna or a similar place! I'm probably totally mistaken (nothing new there!) I love decoupage and music of all varieties! I can be just as happy whether it be Beethoven or Led Zeppelin! I like country music too! The weather will be just starting to be pleasant in Portugal as it will in Spain, well March onwards!! Middle of June to middle of September, I would rather be in much colder climes!! Too, too hot!! Anyway Shanna, stay positive, keep looking forward and hopefully soon we can show our faces again!! Hugs xxx

Ye actually means THE, but it was written originally with Thorn and the printers didn't have Thorn. It looked most like a Y, so they use Y but pronounced it THE. See here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)
