for 5 hours when I came down this morning, they were still putting water on it. It was terribly cold again last nite. It was 10 below. I'll tell you I had one H... of a time trying to keep the furnace going, house, shop & kids. I just can't stand it forever. Why don't you write them & tell them to put the heat on & sell the darned thing? If we were rich & could keep plenty of help it would be different, but I will just kill myself at it, for if I have to stay home, I can't afford to hire anything done. Carol is better, but still has quite a cold. I am keeping her home. It is just too cold to let her out. Well it looks like the Russians are doing a good job & maybe it wont last so much longer. I hope not. The Kinyon's have their house up for sale & plan to go to California for sure. I guess if they don't sell right away, Ed is going on & have Marian come later. They are packing now, some things. Must get home now, so we'll close. When do you leave there? Are you planning to come this way? Hugs & Kisses Mommie
