Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Connie Bonner, L C Bowen, Bobby...
Well it is a nice cool morning here in our little valley, the temperature is 55 degrees and it is almost too cool to sit on the front porch but I have a blanket and a cup of good hot coffee and of course the cats are wanting to snuggle up next to me.
