well, when I said "she can't do a whole lot" I was referring to the more intense pond stuff, like when she had a leak and needed a concrete repair, or when the pump went bad and she needed a new one installed.
I didn't mean to imply that she was incapable of having hobbies, such as the pond. She has a regular job and takes care of her own home, she just doesn't know how to certain things, which her son is glad to take care of for her. Just wanted to clarify what I meant...I was staying with the topic of maintaing a pond. She can handle the rest...plants, feeding, filling, cleaning filters, etc.
sorry....
