Editor's Note: Now I ask you, did Irma's parents really say she couldn't go to the entertainment or did she just want to politely let Allen down? Given his ambivalence in asking her in the first place I'm glad Irma had the last word on the matter.
Lots of cow viewing at the Cass farm the last few days. From what we can gather there is going to be a big sale there on March 15th. Speaking of, it also seems Maxwell's is a local auction place. If anyone can help me out with its history it would be appreciated.
