[Marilyn]

So sorry to hear about Lynne. Hope she gets well very quickly!!! Most of the folks we knew have recovered now. Hopefully the worst has passed around here. I think we got it a little early. I don't exactly know why, but the Texas coastal cities near Houston seem to be the first to see the flu each season.

Now a lot of folks are battling sinus infections and alergies. Central Texas has lots of cedar trees, and when the fronts come in, they carry cedar and lots of people here are affected by it for some reason.

Later, it will be mesquite and huesache (pronounced wesatch) pollen.
