6. I just turned 77, and am hanging in there pretty well.

I live in the boondocks, expecting some snow and wind this week, so I stocked up today.

Got a snow shovel at the thrift store.

But these 50 mile drives are a waste of time. I'll see about moving closer to people (all my friends are 50 miles away of more ... this is a mighty small town and 6 people I knew left already) and stores and services. Stocking up is a fright to manage, especially for one.

If I were close by, I'd be glad to help!!!
