Hello folks.
I'm just fine except for my knee. Having a good time. Sadie is sewing dresses. Stoodland Que made me some dresses. Don't be surprised when you see me all dressed up. It sure is warm here! It is the hotel that they (Gone & Glan) stayed at when they were here. Will see you all next week.
