A week ago there was a short item in the Sunday paper about the govt. planning to send inspectors to the old iron mine at Decorah to determine whether it could be used for production to help out the iron shortage. 
I still have my cold but I'm not sick now like I felt last week. The funny little voice I have isn't much use for talking! But my throat isn't sore today even though my voice is funny. I sure hope you have enough resistance to pass up all the little bugs.

Saving...
