Ah, President’s Day, a holiday to honor all our Presidents. The TV tells the life of several: what they went through, some rich, others poor, some killed, etc. You do have to admire anyone who is willing to be President to try to rule the United States with all its problems, but we can be glad we live here, as most other countries are worse.

Thanks to Bill Martin, who delivered my Meals on Wheels this morning, consisting of Chicken Cordon Bleu and a package of Sweetheart Candies and to Mary Lou of The Lyons Golden Gang, who sent along a “Marshmallow Melt” to brighten our day! Valentine’s Day is always sad for me as it is for other widows or widowers. Mr. LaVerne always brought a box of candy and put it on my typewriter. I still miss that, but son, Jerry,
