Good morning to one and all, and what a lovely morning it is. Well, it's good if you don't have a chest cold. I got up all ready to hit the pavement and realized had little or no voice. Guess what? You guessed it, I stayed home another day. Certainly don't want to spread it around. Besides, everybody needs a mental health day every now and then.

Let's see, today would have been my sister Sue's and her husband Sammy's 3rd anniversary, this is his first without her. I will call him later and try to tell him it will get easier every day. I have experienced alot in my 58 yrs. but not the loss of a bestfriend/soul mate. Hang in there Sammy, it will get better.

On a lighter note,Sunday two very close friends of mine (Ann & Roseanne) will be exchanging vows. Originally from here and now residing in Arizona, have decided to take advantage of the new law in Iowa permitting Gay marriages. Kudos to them! My thoughts on the law is why doesn't everyone mind their own business and let people be happy without incident? The world is not going to come to an end because of it. I suppose if there weren't people in the world causing problems for others it would be a pretty boring place or would it?

Ok, till we meet again, everyone have great day and God Bless.
