Hello, everyone, hope all is well. The weather has been so nice this weekend—okay, we did have that rainstorm on Saturday. I have been out and about today—I stopped by Genco's Fire House, Paul and Sharon have so many nice old antiques to sell you. I would like to give a BIG Thank you to RN Kathy Ray and Nurse Practitioner Scott Morgan of Grover Hermann hospital for making my ER visit a good experience.

I am okay, all is good. Believe me you do not want to know—okay, I will tell you, but do not laugh: it was a boil.
