Music is mine, too. Although I'm more of a collector than a musician.

Honestly my second pasion in life after my family is my dream - I wan to build a small house and live there to the end of my days. So I'm right at my dream coming true and happy to have it.

@andr70 .... Especially for you, a poem by Irish poet Padraic Colum

O, to have a little house!
To own the hearth and stool and all!
The heaped up sods against the fire,
The pile of turf against the wall!

To have a clock with weights and chains
And pendulum swinging up and down!
A dresser filled with shining delph,
Speckled and white and blue and brown!

I could be busy all the day
Clearing and sweeping hearth and floor,
And fixing on their shelf again
My white and blue and speckled store!

I could be quiet there at night
Beside the fire and by myself,
Sure of a bed and loth to leave
The ticking clock and the shining delph!

Och! but I'm weary of mist and dark,
And roads where there's never a house nor bush,
And tired I am of bog and road,
And the crying wind and the lonesome hush!

And I am praying to God on high,
And I am praying Him night and day,
For a little house - a house of my own
Out of the wind's and the rain's way.

Im living my dream, ever since I was a kid I always wanted to live in Mexico. I have the little house, I dont have the pendulum clock or fireplace, or anything very classy, but it suits me. I have a battery clock on the wall, if I listen close I can hear it ticking. Thats sort of the same I guess.
