Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Boy do I hate to tell you this. we have NO snow here. is on the other side of the bay from me (about 50 miles after crossing the bridges). I don't think I could handle getting to P-town right now though. When the weather firmly breaks. and that means up north where you are too, I want to try and take a trip up there. I've been pretty upset because I haven't been able to get a hold of my ex-boyfriend. We're still good friends. His phone has been disconnected since New Years. I get these strange feelings when it comes to him and I don't have a great feeling right now. I'm going to send a letter. The other problem is he could be trying to call me with a calling card, but I don't answer numbers that I don't know. I will promise you that I will meet you some time this late spring or maybe fall. maybe summer because of the traffic.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hey Tigger, Are you guys talking about me? I have no snow here either. My hip finally srarted to feel beter although I still have to rest it so I don't regress. But I have all the luck and yesterday my broncial cough started up. I was laying down talking with my mom and walked her to the door to leave and started coughing. That sounds like no big de3al except that it caused me to throw up my lunch and pulled the muscles in my chest and both my arms. I even had to take muscle relaxers. Today the dr called in my cough medicine with codine. Will I ever get well enough to enjoy this year. On the good side, I've been listening to the birds singing. Soon my grandchildren will be out fishing again. I think I'll send my husband with them because he is retiring in September. Tomarrow everyone in Newport is Irish and we have the parade. it's suppose to rain and it is never cancelled. When I was a kid I even had to march when it was hailing. We've had it in the snow and in lucky years it is warm and people dress in short sleeves.My daughter has her green eye lashes, makeup,jewelry and clothes.
