I didn't see "Plymouth" to the right of your name before, so you are not so far from me. I am in Fish Lake, on the other side of Walkerton.

Have your ever gone to Warsaw? They have a biblical garden and about 150 feet away, a second garden, in Central Park there. Pardee, a retired teacher, takes care of the biblical garden, and his wife, Toshiko, takes care of the other. Japanese, and she is fastidious, even sweeping leaves off the grass using a Japanese style broom. Both he and she do everything with great love and passion, and the two gardens are a must-see because of that. Treat yourself some day in the summer, and I guarantee, you will shot for at least an hour!

My dad was shipped to Hawaii approximately three months after the attack on Pearl Harbor and was there until the war ended.

Here’s a bracelet he made for his then fiancé, my mother. The stainless steel band is made from an engine cowling off of a B17 bomber that had been destroyed during the attack. The brass heart is made from a name plate off of a damaged door removed from the USS California, which was damaged in the attack, eventually sunk and was later raised, repaired and put back into service. The two rivet heads are from one of the few Japanese planes we were able to shoot down, a Zero. Dad spent considerable time making the bracelet by hand and said that he would have given up had he not already told my mom he was making it for her. He had her name engraved at a jeweler in Honolulu.

As easy as shooting fish in a barrel, Reuss.
The whole garden is about 10X20 feet, consisting of five long rows.
The flowers are all new varieties they are trying out.
It's in the middle of one of the most excellent parks I have ever visited,
and there is even a working 19th century mill that produces excellent flour, for sale
