does this ever bring back memeories this women was the sweetiest kind most genteel lady god ever let breathe.
She would always make certain the people with no where to go had somebody to spend holdiays with, I miss her every holiday. Long after I married and had a place to go I would go back and spend the day or part of the day with Miss Phyiss and Big Red.
Heart of Gold, everyone loved this lady.
Her collections were many, her jewelry was exceptional. Her stainglass artwork was professional, she painted. She was herself an artist and an angel.
Don't print my name please as I no longer drink.

I will take my girls and go to this but can you also tell us, once a week or so what is new at the Visitors Center shop
and if they put 'old stuff' into the shop can you write that they did
so we'll know to go?
We go every 10 days as a group but it would be nice to get a heads up.
Can you do this?
Please!
