As I am writing this column I am sweating and I have the fan on, but it's not helping one bit. What happened to spring? It feels like summer already. I guess in July we will have the weather in the 50’s. A belated Happy Mothers' Day to all; I spent my day with my sister and one of my brothers and his family. Please keep Elisabeth Bringle in your thoughts and prayers on the passing of her mother Renata Radzikowski. It is so hard to have a nice time on Mothers' Day when your mom is in heaven, keep your mom's memories alive. We had a good time today telling Tuttie's stories (what we called my mom), we laughed and had a great day.
