    Ross I am so happy to see all the work on the carnage house! Bed and breast first thing at Ross’s, and a week and do some work at the same time. Summer camp! I will volunteer to cook and bring food.

      So, y’all know how I’ve been writing this:

      “Thank you Pam, in memory of Clara. And also to David.”

      Well, THIS is David!

        Thank you, David! From someone who is from Emporia and has loved the Cross House and its Carriage house for more than 50 years. You are making a big difference in my little home town.

      David, speaking for myself, I’d be happy to settle for a bed and breakfast, not the item you are suggesting! LOL, you just gotta love auto-correct!
