    Jan I know you are sitting on the wall eating MrDay’s little green apples with Two salt shakers for when I get there. Treasure hunting and sitting in the dogwoods where no one can see us listening to all of us talking. So I will check every tree to see if you are there and wait for Breakfast with the whole family I told you I dreamed about. Until then, have a great time and keep them all going. Love you, Cuz
