Dear Sun Spots: Thank you for your information about Dancril. Local masons are too busy to answer calls about a sealer. I had a hard time finding one even to do repair work that wasn’t a big job. I will try on line.

In addition, my daughter showed me how to find a lovely picture and a few books and fanny pack on eBay but I would still like to find Barbara Johnson books and fanny packs locally. Also, I still don’t have a repair shop for my fountain. Will keep looking. Have a great day. – Mary Kirby, Wilton.
