Are any of these guys dropping their prices.  My income dropped 50%.  Feed man gave me big discount, blacksmith took a small cut, grooms are being paid less (I don't know how they can survive), etc.

Just a quick suggestion , from someone who has been around older people in their later years.

They really appreciate a visit............ ..get a letter.........ev en just a short note to tell them You recall how good they were at their job..or how they helped you........

These letters rarely are sent

A couple of you said nice things about Doc.......why not TODAY...find out whre he is and send a card

He would really like that

My Mother was in a home..and some of her co habitants......mi ght only see their family 2 or 3 times a year

I visited almost daily...and besides  sitting with my mother..I always spoke to the ones who NEVER had a visitor

Their faces would lite up

Hope some of you guys step up...and let us know what happened
