~ Scooters

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I can't tell you what perfect timing this is! I am looking into getting a

scooter now. Went Net searching the other night to get ideas. My Mom knows a

guy who does scooters and I will be able to get one at a good price. Plus,

he does Medicare, so I won't have to pay for the entire thing. Apparently,

Medicare pays up to 80%. The ones I saw on the Net also had some good

monthly plans that I could afford. Very soon I will be rolling! All the

neighbor kids are going to be sooo jealous! I'll get to go out and " play "

with them now, them on their bikes and me on my scooter. I am just so tired

of being cooped up in my apartment. FREEDOM will soon be mine. AND, I live

in an area where I am close to lots of stores, including the mall! The mall

has a library in it, books are a passion of mine, and it's a good place to

go write. I've been doing a lot of that lately. Plus nice restaurants, a

park. There is also a nursing type home up the road with Alzheimer's

patients. I might see about doing some volunteer work. I could scoot there

in about 2 minutes. I'd love to go sit with them and read, watch TV, or just

hold their hands.

I'll let ya know when I'm on the road! Beep Beep! Oh, I'll have to get a

horn! LOL
