[Oe List ...] Today's sunrise

[RICHARD HOWIE]

Dear Fred and Jann,
As promised long ago to you, when I have my early morning coffee on  
the front porch with an unobstructed view East, I hold you and all  
the family in my heart and prayers.  Today, the sky is pink/apricot  
in color and soon the sun shall appear....one of the daliy miracles  
for all of us.  I am happy to hear that Fred is enjoying his own bed!
Love, God's Grace and Peace, Ellen
