Hope it works with all the angles, etc. Velyma Broadhead and her daughter have returned home and have been busy cleaning her yard for winter. (Cleanest yard in town!) My g...
The weather has certainly changed and is staying quite chilly. We are not seeing the sun as much as before and it is not nearly as warm as it has been when it is out. Almost wish for the hot again. All my kids that were here have gone home to return later this month to celebrate my 90th birthday. Gad--it's tough to get old. Teresa's son Aaron is taking Teri to Spokane again on Tuesday for a check and treatment, if necessary. That old road seems to be getting well-traveled. It was good to see...
