Colds and Flu
The pestilence has spread. I’m not sure if it’s the cold I caught in Branson or the beaded strings of pollen dripping from our oak tree, but I’m still sniffling and hacking. I’m sorry to say Rick caught it a few days after I did. At least we’re no longer contagious (so we’ve been told), …
