Re: welcoming the newbies, too!!!

I'd like to join Joyce in welcoming all of the new members to our

family. I must admit, that I was curious where in PA you were from too,

Rocky. I was born in Lancaster Country, yep buggies and all... I had to

LOL, when Joyce said she moved from from Pittsburgh to Eerie, less hills

and all - What was I THINKING... I moved from the beautiful rolling

hills of central PA to SAN FRANCISCO!!!!! lol. I hate driving across

bridges and we are surrounded by water on 3 sides, I DON'T 'do' hills

very well, even in my electric wheelchair - SF is notorious for some

REALLY steep hills and my electric wheelchair is back heavy, due to the

baterry, so, well you get the idea- my beat up old car has trouble on

some of them!!! Anyway, it's good to hear from people from my 'home'

state - even though ALL PAer's know it is like 2 states in one - the

Pittsburgh side and the Philly side - I was on the Philly side.

Regardless, I moved out to CA all by myself, so I get a bit home sick

and it's been almost 9 years! So, if anyone lives near Philly or

Lancaster, keep me posted! Is ANYONE OUT there LIVING IN San Francisco

or the Bay Area?

Enough rambling, you have been officially annointed as part of our

family, so please join in and ask questions, this group has been a HUGE

inspiration to me.

So welcome, June, Blackie B. & Rocky, I look forward to talking with all

of you in the future!!!!

Peace & Love to All,

Judy g.
