THE DUST WILL WAIT

It Came. Today It Came. The Sister Study Kit Came Today. Toenails are history. But something else in the letter has made me delightfully delirious. They are sending someone over to pick up, and I quote: " completed questionnaires and your urine specimen, toenail clippings ....AND DUST SAMPLES." Please join me in my little flight of fancy ------- Come on down to the dust cellar. 2006 was a bumper crop. However, we had some other years that might intrigue you.
