[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 232228, member: 1697"] Marg, you know I always love to hear you talk about your homeland. It always sounds so beautiful, altho I remember you wanred me it also has dangers. I love how when it is winter here, it is summer there. I never really enjoyed summer weather...altho becuz of my life, I never reallly enjoyed much of any season until recently, they kinda always ran together. I never tolerated heat wll at all, until maybe the last 2-3 years, when Ibegan to do yard work as therapy, once my rheumy got me back on my feet. This is my first winter of my life shoveling. Previously I kinda just sorta punted and wished hard my car would get thru if I gunnned the engine. LOL. But this sh9oveling IS hard on me..and I have injured my ligaments and tendons in my elbow and aggravated rotator cuff injury .....but easy child really needs drive and walks clear and so does my little vw bug I got last year.
