Elaine is thanked
To the Journal editor:
I live in Ishpeming and work three jobs to try to get ahead. Elaine owns a gas station on Third and Vine in Ishpeming. Every year she decorates the outside with plants. Every fall she offers me those plants.
Working three jobs, all part time, I work and sleep. But when home relaxing, I grow the plants Elaine has given me. It makes me feel good all winter long and I thank Elaine for giving to the community.
I feel my winters are better because anyone who takes care of plants knows how relaxing and fulfilling it makes them feel.
Thank you, Elaine, for getting me through the Upper Peninsula winters.
