Every thing is fine with me and I am in good health only I eat a little two much fruite espeshelly grapes and you know what grapes will give you. I recieved the pickurs from Doryne when I got your cigs and the glass was all broken in little peices and it cut the picture up a little but they are realy nise but the one of me was realy bad.
