Bird Lady Stories
Many will remember how much Mrs. Landers went to heal broken birds. If one was hit or injured, they brought it to her. I believe it was Mr. Landers built a free flowing bird area out on the patio, full of mourning doves, night hawks,and other native birds, as well as parakeets etc..I really don't remember exactly when or why she took this on, but it was the most significant endeavor I had ever seen.
Unfortunately, at about this time I had learned how to mimic the mating call of those love lorn mourning doves and could set them off cooing crazily for a very long time. Which to a young boy was hysterical, but this was not amusing at all to Mrs. Landers, and it was part of my education process to learn a fast exit!
Joan and Point of the Americas
Joan was still helping people open up and close up their condos at Point of the Americas about 4 years ago. She would call me and ask me to go over there and do things for her. She has been a great friend.
I will miss her

Wonderfull Memories of Joan and Jacaranda Garden Circle
You Have been a good friend.
Joan and I were members of Jacaranda and Cassia garden circles for many years. She was a great comfort to me when I lost my husband in 2007. Many many a Garden Club Christmas party at the Landers home. Always decorated to the max.
Love to you family and friends
