Howdy Deb,
Yes I do believe in prayers..they have always help me and others in
need.
The County fair started today in Lake Co. IN. and I can't wait to go
too..I love the critters and a footlong corn dog and a cold
drank...Yes meeting my first real love was a trip and t was exactly
what I was missing in my life. Well I hope everyone there is good and
you have fun at the fiar too...Me
