No Bergmeister:
Don't know how to put photos on the computer. Maybe this winter Margaret can come over and we can figure it out. Have lots of photos of white scum, green bubbles, neon water with what we call "stretch marks." Also have photos of beautiful clear blue water-we will get back to it, because we won't give up, and because it is all solvable, it just takes tenacity, perseverance,teamwork, money and knowledge, and hiring the right people. We have made amazing progress fighting our our H.O. Association (living in Stepfordville full of original owners who don't care). I think it is like a pyramid scheme; if you bought early you paid little for beautiful water, had extremely low dues, and will do well whenever you leave. For those like me, well it has become pretty much a full time job. So if you see Margaret and I on the news chained to the South Blvd. drain to get it diverted, don't be surprised.

Better late than never I guess. Here's mine:

1) Quality private fishery
5) Some limited hunting
6) To attract wildlife for viewing and/or preservation
16) To provide escape, peace, and relaxation (therapeutic or otherwise)
25) A safe close to home place to give the dogs some water training (Springer Spaniels)

My vote: #24........ A fun place to gather with family and friends!
We love having family over to fish, talk and fellowship down at our pond. We want to get the pond really producing so we can have some of the older folks at out church come over and catch fish. Our goal is to host a Sunday School party at our home, catch fish and fry 'em up there!

#16 as well... after a day at the Mill...I walk down and sit in my swing and just watch.....

There are those who love to catch fish, and those who fish for the opportunity to catch.

I cannot complete registration so I cannot complete my all members MUST vote requirement. I don't own a pond. I am not contemplating owning a pond, ever. People buy them and pay me to manage them. Not only do I get to do whatever I want, whenever I want, I get paid to do it.
