I sent you his last letter Rich. He gave me a tracking number and said that he sent a Postal money order and I should be home on Thurs. to sign for it. He was very apologetic and signed it...The Mapes. So we will find out by Thurs. You are right, unless his wife wrote some of his letters, he definitely seemed like he had two personalities. Sometimes he made you feel bad for him and other times you hated him. Sometimes I felt he was just a confused old man, and other times you thought he was a young kid trying to scam you.

Have you heard the poem:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm a schizophrenic,
and so am I.

No matter what happens....use it for happy hour. We got our little boxie from Yvonne this morning and are very happy. I want to take a picture of Tim holding this little baby, but I have to ask his Mother first. He named it Chewbacca...and we are going to call him Chewey for short. You all know who that is...don't you?
Thank you Yvonne...Here's Chewey:

Terry, my hubby is so funny. He looked at the pics and asked me where you lived that you were taking pics of the turtle in the rainforest. LOL. I explained that was chewey's tort table. We have DT so he did understand higher humidity torts and tables.

You are very welcome, Terry. I was happy to be able to do it. I love your box turtle set-up. And Chewy looks very happy in it. Here at my house, they stay hidden all the time. Next time I think about it, I'll take a picture of Chewy's dad so you can see his big buggy eyes.

Tim came home from school and I told him we would take Chewy out just for two pictures.



Gotta love his smile! Looks like we have the next generation tort lover.

His smile makes it all worthwhile. That was very kind of Yvonne.

Terry I hope he or she keeps their promise and you are refunded your money tomorrow. Keep us posted :)

Dreams really do come true as long as you keep on believing. What a happy ending this had. Rich and Yvonne what beautiful people you are to help a little boy be able to believe again. Terryo what a handsome grandson you have with such a beautiful smile. I've got to tell you that logging in everyday just to see what happens next was well worth it when today I logged in and there was Terry's grandson holding his dream in his hands. When I saw his picture I had to call my husband in to show him the outcome of this thread he too had a smile on his face.

Well Candy, tomorrow should be the REAL ending. According to "our man" he is sent the money and even gave me a tracking number. It should come tomorrow before 3. Rich deserves a fun happy hour for all he did for me and Tim. I will let you know tomorrow.............
I told Yvonne that this morning Tim told me his heart was pounding. (meaning he was so excited about the baby). lol

Oh I will. I plan on going to Opah’s here in Aliso Viejo and have one of their key lime pie martinis. Maybe two. :shy::p

Oh we never drive; in fact the taxis know our address by now :shy:. You haven’t had a good martini until you have tried a key lime pie from Opah’s. I found the recipe and tried to make one for a friend but it just wasn’t the same.
