ebrate their 60th wedding

mally of Cross Roads, some
his children, daughter Nancy

time! As always!
To "Shorty" Burton, I
"misquoted" a statement to
you! About a person we
both know having "breast
cancer" No. she doesn't,

what she said as, she ad-
m~rjFt' 'people' that could
stand up in church and tell
she had cancer, and ask for
people to pray for them!"
We can still pray for each
other!

Have you seen the high
heel soft shoes made for
baby girls? Real eye catch-
ers. In truth, nonwalkers are
the only ones who won't pay
later for wearing these heels
that throw the spine off line
and ruin posture. Problems
with the fi~et and legs come
later, creeping onto the body
with painful ways.
