Sara Kendrick Date: 1/10/2022 3:17:00 AM Tom, I never knew I would live to see the day I would say thank goodness, it is a cold. So much better to be a cold and not COVID. I hope you get well soon. A cold is bad and lays a person low, but COVID is so much worse. Sara..Very creative work you have penned in this one. Way to go.
