I feel like I have an investment in your part of the woods ((Ms. Alffe)). But then, you may recall my high school sweetheart lives in Elkhart. My heart breaks reading the stories and seeing the pictures at the end of the article of all the people there facing foreclosures, etc.

I also noticed on the map they show Iowa as one of the states in recovery!?!? Huh? What? Are they talking about the Iowa I live in!?????

My heart goes out to everyone facing these difficulties. You are not alone in this!
