George, I agree with your letter wholeheartedly! Please add religious issues -we've had some in the past and they create hard feelings. That doesn't mean we can't say we are keeping so & so in our prayers - that's a different feeling, I think. Good wishes to all - the snow is leaving MN under a blanket of rain and thunderstorms!

Vi, So good to hear from you. We have not had a good spring, wet and 10 to 15 degrees below average, but it was 70 degrees today and I am going to have to mow in a couple of weeks. Thanks so much for agreeing with me. Religious issues certainly fit in the list of "banned" topics. Keeping people in out prayers is certainly much different than something that would hurt someones feelings. Jeri is doing great and we have had all of our G-Children here in the last week or so. I will retire in a couple of years. I was 64 the 25th of March. Am beginning to take classes in furniture building. You know me, I will have to have at least several projects.
