Masha, it is so good to hear you are healing nicely and not needing the pain meds :-)
Thanks be to God for that.
(I just now noticed my post, that part of it got cut off...when I copy and pasted the text from David Williams, part of the content didn't get posted...sorry about that. But it seems that you are healing well, despite the lack of sunshine. I am so happy to hear that.)
Jeanne, you are so right about not wanting to live in California. The weather is the best, but the people are the worst...oh, especially the liberal politicians are disgusting. Expensive, yes, so very expensive (our oldest son, 26, cannot afford to move out on his own...he is wanting to move out-of-state, too). We cannot afford and won't be able to retire here. It has been home to us for so long. But, sadly, it has changed and we have been searching for a new state that we can move to in 5-10 years. Hopefully sooner, rather than later. :-)
