Thank you, givio. Everyone looks like they are having a great time. Wow. What an experience to treasure. Yes, Bonnie spoke of your $10 sewing machine and pictured it in today's email message and told the story there. Apparently, she was very surprised at eh its price and how well it worked. Me too.
I do not carry a cane, I carry a stick, almost 6 ft long to balance with my height. It helps me over the curb up on to the sidewalks in town without falling, so far. My GM's saying of the bigger they are the harder they fall, echos in my ears, And the ground looks waaay down when I am standing up! Now if I didn't bend out as far as I do! LOL.
