Hi Elaine and group!

Welcome to all new members and godspeed to those of you in pain and/or

recovering from surgery! I've been more of a luker lately as I'm just too

worn out to really be more active in posting!! (A lame excuse I know!!)

The mention of Massachusetts got my attention, as I grew up there in Dedham,

for those of you who know Mass. Where in Mass did you live when your

daughter was born, Elaine??

Hi,

My husband grew up in Whitinsville, Mass.

started school at Whitinsville Christian School

and were both born at Memorial Hospital in Worcester

WE lived in... are you ready....

Whitinsville, Sturbridge, Uxbridge, Sutton, and a couple of

towns near there that I can't remember.

I was born in NJ and grew up in New City, NY.. which is about 3/4

hr

north or New York City.. Moved to Mass. when I was 20..

We left Mass in 1978 for Colo. and then lived in Shelbyville, TN

Brewton, AL, Cordele, GA, Norcross, GA, Dacula, GA, and now

Aurora, IL. We will be retiring west of Mobile, AL.

How's that for just my " living arrangement, life story " ????

Gotta get off the computer... supposed to be " resting my

shoulder " ...

I will write tomorrow.. I get the results of the MRI then

and should know more of what is wrong and what needs to

be done..

Love

elaine

Elly,

It's nice that you could pop in! With everything going on, it is no wonder

that you are so worn out. I hope you're feeling ok and your real estate is

going well. I guess this means you're all settled into your new home!

Congratulations, I hope you love it there.
