How do you like my new look?

Zooplies Miniature Haven is where I share what I know about miniatures. Use the tabs above the navigate the site. Visit often - Use the comments to ask questions - give advise. But most of all - Just have fun! If you want something - just ask!

Living Free In America is another personal site where I am currently sharing my motor home restoration progress, as well as a place where I'll share my photos and vent on occasion. Once the motor home is fully restored, I plan to live and travel across America, sharing my adventures with my readers. This will be a working retirement - and I hope it works out as I'm tired of working so much, that I don't have time to enjoy life - and to me - that is wrong.
