Dog-gone-it Jethro, I can't find the danged phone. Elly May thought it
was out by the concrete pond but now it looks like Cousin Bessie has
hidden it. Funny thing, when Granny went to apply her potion to the
heater she found one of Elly May's raccoons in there. Once we got that
critter out the heater, it worked just like it used to.
