Hey Canuck,

I solved a bit of the overcrowding dilemna over dinner last night by casually bringing up the subject of my African trophies with, "Boy, it sure is gonna be a chore to find space for all my African critters when Mark starts getting them mounted."

So...my better half, without any prompting says, "Well when you get the family room addition done maybe we can make it the African exhibit room."

Needless to say, all I said was, "Yeah, maybe so. We'll see." -TONY

HI,

WOW, that is just plain nice, great stuff. Kev

all those gorgeous mounts and all my wife said was "I like the couch!"

Mssgn,



We own two time-share weeks in Mazatlan, Mex., so we have the opportunity to shop a lot.



The couch is unique and my wife's creation to go along with all the other Mexican accents in the house, such as the hand-painted Talavera tiles in some of the photos. Ellen made the cushion covers from 4 serapes we bought for the purpose at $6 each in Mazatlan. We have some material left over to use for accents around the window, but I still need to make the wooden valance to go over the top edge. -TONY
