Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Lelia, My bro lives in N. Attleboro. I havn't been back there in 20 years or so. They have lived in California in the meantime too. They left here 5 years ago and I saw him at home in Wisconsin 2 1/2 years ago when we both were visiting at the same time. It was a family reunion/grandma's 90th bday party. She had over 300 people there. There are 12 kids, 56 grandkids, 70 something great grandkids, and I lost count on the great-great. She is a neat woman though. Sane as a stick at 90. Only thing wrong is that macular eye thing. Sorry my brain is only barely functioning tonight, can't think of the name. Oh, see how I babble............yikes. Zanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Zanna, Being an " old " former Massachusetts girl myself I'm just wondering where your brother lives. I still have quite a few close relatives and friends there. We all lived not too far from Worcester, MA. It is beautiful there but you can't have everything where one lives. Sure there's wonderful greenery with gorgeous fall colors most years but there's also high humidity (I know a lot of the country has that too). However....I'll bet this year they're a tad drier than usual---as least according to my cousin and according to the report on the news the other night that all New England is suffering. There's other wonderful things about Massachusetts that Colorado doesn't have: real water (lakes) to swim in, ocean (my son said CO would be perfect if it had the ocean), history, frappes, tonic, " the " accent, Necco wafers, but.....I do not, absolutely do not, especially now, miss the humidity!!!! Zanna, I still have days when I can't sleep because I've " overdone " myself and my legs/arms burn and hurt. And here I am 5 years down the road and tapeing prednisone. Don't mean to discourage but is a long-term assignment most likely and one just has to learn to say " NO " I can't do that anymore. Sometimes there will come circumstances you absolutely can't control and you'll have to mush through it knowing that it too will end. Best wishes to you and your dh on the counseling. Go for it--both of you are sure worth it!! Lelia from Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Lelia... You mentioned Worcester, MA. I live midway between Worcester and Springfield, a little town called North Brookfield. Familiar with it?
