ReplyDeleteMe either anymore. But I did and so many of those things just made me remember, especially the first time I looked out my living room window and the bear was looking back at me.
How is your leg?
Thank you for asking...I was able to unwrap the 3 layers and take a lukewarm shower. It actually feels pretty good. I have a bunch of butterfly bandages all up and down my leg where he removed the vein. My leg is all purple and bruised, but the Dr. said to expect that and in a few days it will look much better. I have to wear a support stocking, too...just on that one leg. It's a thigh high one. I have much more mobility now than I did. So, after writing a book, lol, my leg is doing great:).
ReplyDeleteHi SunnyGirl,
ReplyDeleteMost of the ones that refer to cold weather would apply to living in Canada too. Is Coors beer made in Colorado? We have it here so I didn't understand that one.
Hugs,

lmao. I feel like you reached into my head and started digging around.
ReplyDeleteThis is great.
I live in Colorado and I love it a lot. This is really funny, and so true! Aside from the 5 inches of snow and school not being cancelled bit. My husband gets snow days with 2 inches of snow! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll have to steal it ;)
