April, 2007
Spring has sprung in our corner of the
world and know it will be spreading your way soon. Already
hearing reports of balmy weather coming out of Ohio. Hope
it is true where you are. We have received great news that
Dr. Leda is improving daily. Know all of your positive
thoughts and good wishes have helped her and will continue
to help her.
If you are not excited by the beautiful weather and blooming
plants all around you, perhaps we can entice you with some
special events that are rapidly approaching.
