Special thanks to Patricia Nelson, DTM, Edmonton, AB for allowing Midland to use information her web page which is full of good Resources and Tips.
One ought, every day at least,
to hear a little song,
read a good poem,
see a fine picture,
and, if it were possible,
to speak a few reasonable words
(from Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe)
