True, but I cannot think of anyone I would rather help out than my 3 children and our 5 grandchildren. As long as they are living responsibly.

We aren't wealthy but are completely debt free and have enough income for our lifestyle which doesn't include island resorts, jewelry, or casinos. We do travel, mostly to the western U.S.

We do exactly all we want except we don't have servants. Our interests are traveling, our friends, our cows and timber however humble, and most of all the kids and grand kids.

I wouldn't pay a nickel to shoot an elephant but if that floats your boat, go ahead. If I thought Africa was safe for a white woman my wife and I would go for a photo safari, but I have an elderly widow cousin that lives in South Africa and she tells me Zimbabwe would be safer.
