Iam sorry to hear that.

There is some nasty things going around now, I cought something last Wed that knocked me on my rear. got the Flu shot a while back, but this thing was kind of like the flu, head cold then down in my chest, head ach, eyes hurt, skin sensitive one day, lower back hurt, and thought I was getting Pnemonia. went to the Dr yesterday, and don`t have that. If you never had Pnemonia, ya done`t want it, bad stuff. today is the first day I kind of feel like.....well, going to PNP.

Roy, were pulling for you to get better.

Charlie

Best for the year ahead Roy as well. That hourglass never seems to cease running for us.

I lost christmas day to the trots this year. Some form of 24 hour bug I suspect. Today seems to be the onset of the really cold weather in our area. It usually lasts a couple of weeks. Too cold to snow but the suns radiation helps heats the house the best during this period. Sun is low and the atmosphere pretty clear.
