    What a beautiful thing you did by donating them - it is the perfect way to pass your love of the hobby on to others and share something that you obviously took great happiness in. Think of the joy and excitement all those who see them are going to get for years to come.

    You can take great comfort in knowing where your tanks and livestock went - to a place that will properly care for them and treat them like the treasure that they are. I imagine that the facility was thrilled with your amazing donation.

    I wish you well with your health issues - you have set an incredible example for others.

    Best wishes,
    elizabeth

    Thank you Elizabeth!

    I am excited about the tanks new home. They are supposed to have plans back from the architect early next week. A number of local people have offered to help with the move and setup of the tanks and have also promised to volunteer their time in working with the staff at the Butterfly House until they are up to speed with the systems. I can't help but feel that these tanks will look better in the future than ever before.

    Beautiful place

    that place is cool, I went in one of those before at an amusement park lol, it was neat cause they were everywhere and I've never seen most of the butterflies in there.
