Ya Gotta Know This About That

Hello Greenviewanties. Another morning is upon us. Yesterday is here as today and tomorrow is a mystery, so let's live this fine day!

****************

I'm going to try a little different format. I'm going to use the asterisks as the breaks for different thoughts. And use black color only. I had one comment about different colors not being compatible to someone's eyesight. So let me know what you think. After looking at this new format, I think I like the black and asteriks better. It's easier to read.

Information Please: Rumor has it that Frank Simmering suffered a stroke. Can anyone verify this and tell me his current condition?

MY ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Keep in touch with your former friends and the relatives you knew when you were young. I know how much enjoyment I have had this last month or two. I've had many internet conversations with a few of my old classmates, as well as some cousins whom I hadn't talked to since childhood. I highly recommend re-aquainting yourself with someone who was dear to you in yesteryear, as well as establishing new friends (which I have done) who I never knew until recently, but who are a part of Greenview now. ***Do I sound sobby?** Well not really, just happy those people are a part of my life today.

HAVE A GREAT DAY GREENVIEWANITES! oxoxox
