judygram Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 That does sound like a good thing for the right person but not me, I would have to move too far away from my family and lifting 40-50 pound sacks is not for this 58 year old woman anymore.

spookyhurst Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 You can also do a working vacation at The Oasis . I'd do it if I were in better health. Dear Friends of The Oasis... We can ALWAYS use volunteer help....with projects or with bird care giving. Interested? We have a wonderful little guest-house set in the woods with futon and blow-up mattress, shower, micro-wave, toaster over, fridge and freezer. We ask folks to come for a week or more but we can be flexible within reason. Interested in one or both??? Call me....

I live in the NW Phoenix area, so Nikko and I could come down and visit you and Tracy some time :laugh:. There's a story on their website ( http://www.the-oasis.org/articles/2005_fire.php ) about how a fire came very close to the Oasis. They had to pack up 400 some birds in the middle of the night to evacuate, although in the end, the fire was put out before they actually left. It's an interesting (and scary) read. Being out in the middle of nowhere definitely has a few disadvantages.<br><br>Post edited by: spookyhurst, at: 2008/09/07 23:38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
