wrapping this year's gifts. Can you imagine, all finished! Well, I intend to be
finished before Dec. 1 if it kills me, and it might.
My first stop is going to be the Country Spire. You know, I must be deaf,
clued; and blind, because t never knew this place existed until last week when
Susan told me about it. • '
I had to go to Mitchell on Monday so dashed over to the Country Spire - it's
only &few miles from Mitchell on 83 highway. ,1 only had a very few minutes but

everything in between.
But most important - the prices are very reasonable. You can get a beautiful
gift for under $10.00, as well as' the more, expensive gifts.
Don't you dare tell me you knewlait this place and never mentioned it to me
