New Friend


Today Teri is ill. I guess either she has the flu or I have over worked her. I hope a good couple days of rest will let her get better. I don't like it when Teri gets down. I'd rather be sick myself. Today our friends, Anne and Al, came by and picked me up. For just a few minutes we ran up the road to Tom Elm's place. Al needed a piece of pipe and Tom had it. Tom is a really nice fella. I knew there was something special about this guy as soon as he shook my hand. Well, come to find out, he was born in Paragould, Arkansas. The place where folks don't bother buying the kids shoes til they are teenagers. Anyway, we talked for a while. I used to live in Paragould and attended Crowley's Ridge College there. Just a stone's throw from where Teri and I live now, in Southeast Mo. Tom has this museum behind his house. I mean a real museum. He has everything in there that has any kind of age at all to it. Lots of Indian artifacts, lots of early settlers stuff, I mean a real museum in his large garage. He has made arrangements with the Duncan school to put it all there in the near future. The school is getting some really good stuff that will help teachers when they teach the kids about history of this area. I could not get the camera to work but did get a fuzzy picture I will post here. This is a beaver's head. Take a look behind the head. I know that you can see what is in the box, never opened. Bet that is some potent stuff now.

Have a great day. Talk with you again soon. Dan
