Hi, darn it! Another beautiful day spent in bed reading. Everything connedted with my spine hurts if I sit or stand, so I don't. It's such a shame to waste the wonderful springlike days like this, but you do what you have to.

Monday, I drive 100 miles to Buffalo to see the dermatologist. I had recurrent basal cell carcnoma on my face and get my skin checked every year. If I can force myself, I'll go to a mall where they have a Spirit shoe store and get this year's sneakers. You don't find the double wide sizes everywhere, and I prefer to try them on rather than order them.

MiMi, I'll say it again. You are so lucky to have your grand-
daughter back near you. It's wonderful that she has an active, full life too. Kids who are playing team sports learn a lot and have fun doing it. Lucky girl. Lucky you.

Debbie, hope your over the hill niece has a wonderful birthday. Please tell her that I was 37 when I started college. I went from full time farmwife to full time student and part time wife and mother.

Mary, you sound so marvelously creative. It's great that you've found a soothing way to start the day in your bath. Sorry about the neck. It does put a damper on things, doesn't it? I love the tub for my low back and the shower for my neck, so I choose by what hurts most.

Cory, you're so right about the lakes. We're right on the PA line and just far enough from L. Erie so we don't usually get too much lake effect. The poor people a few miles closer get clobbered! However, we're in what the weatherman calls "the higher valleys" and get late frosts in spring and early ones in fall. One year the only frost free month was July. The only things that matured were lettuce and radishes. Hope you get to enjoy your time with the family. Pot luck is a wonderful way to spread the work out. Try to get some rest and relaxation in too! You deserve it.

I'm trying to get in shape to make that Monday trip. I usually look forward to it and often bring a girlfriend along to hit the mall and get a great lunch, but the state my back's in right now, I really have to be religious about flexerill every 8 hours and maintaining the heating pads. Hopefully, the flare will be gone by Monday morning.

Have a great Saturday and Sunday, and pray for me on Monday.
