It’s getting warmer and the crisp air is grand. It’s perfect to sit out on the open deck and soak up air and sunshine. The children all have a cold, but this grand air should cure it quickly.

Someone gave me a pair of brown suede shoes and they fit fine. Boy what a different feeling to have shoes on that look like something! I also received a pair of hose from some kind lady, but one hardly dare wear them lest we have nothing when we land. I have gone without for almost 6 months so I hardly miss them.
