Q: What do you get when you cross the Roseola virus with a horrific head cold?
A: Seven days of pure hell!

Poor Miss Kjella Bea got slammed with Roseola and a horrible cold at the same time (David and Jay still have the cold ... ) It was several days of misery at the Stenehjem house. Luckily it happened when it did and not the next week while I was in Oklahoma ... ! Here is a brief sample of our daily texts back and forth.
